I might add that there shouldn't be much worries about adversive effects of this change. It's a tryout. If it does not improve anything, it would be made to disappear again. It'd probably best though if someone reminded us of that, if it happened.

Edit: by the way. If regular users can't see post counts, I'm fine with enabling them again. We turned them off during the time that people warred about who got the most posts, and to promote quality over quantity. Quality is, of course, still a great goal, but it's not like the quantities are so high nowadays.
