I understand the joy you can feel here because I could relate with the effort of having to wait for like 6 minutes to respond to a message or send a PM after the last one. If I had the opportunity then, I would have taken it as well. What we can hope for is that its not been abused by people because no matter how innovative an action is, some people will always look for ways to exploit for their own selfish reasons just like the notification via emails that was introduced only for people to use that as a means to lock their account after they must have sold it to someone else.

The people I see benefiting from this and if possible restricted to them is developers who wants to post the announcement threads and start looking for someone to do if for them all over the forum. Aside that, in few months from now, this might not abate any of the clamouring issues we have around here.
