I’m going to close this thread now. @adrien’s views on the potential (and real) disadvantages of using a reactivation server have been well-aired and everybody has had plenty of opportunity to comment.
As I wrote in the main announcement thread, we have received plenty of feedback about our plans, and we are deep in discussions about what, if anything, we will do in response to that feedback. We will be sure to let you all know of any changes we decide to make.
Thanks to everybody for their considered feedback on this topic.
