Hopefully the settings to enable Mu functionality isn't easy to get to, or else millions of people are going to upgrade and turn that on because they think it'd be cool and "I'm sure other people want to blog on my site!" and then get spammed to hell by parasite hosting spammers.

No user interface for the multisite/multiuser functionality appears until a constant is set in the configuration file. So most users will never see it, and those who do really wanted to. :-)

It's hidden a bit, you have to enable it in the config file, and of course it still requires subdomains and such to be properly configured. I expect this to make not much difference for WordPress users, but should be night and day for people who were running MU.
