I was just about to say so myself, but you do it much better.
The step back and count to ( some suitable number here ) is fine.
Let's just start rolling and see what happens.
There are always people with concern.

And thanks Podz for your patience and good humor in leading it all.
I don't think we should temporarily "take it down", rephrase, redefine 
or roll back.
Just roll it, and take the comments by real users of the service seriously.

And lets keep a nice and friendly tone with the so concerned non users.
I'll through 4 cents on that one.

Rule of life: People always have opinions.
