It'd require patches to moin.  IE: We'd either have to get rid of all of 
the users or gut the mailing section of the wiki I guess.  Just a 
reminder to those that aren't familiar with it.  Moin iterates over 
every user who has page watch lists (currently in the thousands) to find 
out who to notify.  As the number of our users increases and as the 
number of the pages they watch increase moin gets slower and slower on 
page saves.
