The important thing to see, I think, is that the gains will come not on the first day this rolled out, but over time. One tiny merchant on a single day as the only data point is a sad sample to base decisions on. Particularly for said tiny merchant. Their pick up in sales will not happen immediately, but with time. Removing the "Remember Me" in freakout mode will likely be just shooting themselves in the foot, in a very short term way. But then again, even big companies only worry about the next quarter's financials, and the government so longer invests in infrastructure, so I guess this is the new normal.

I'm not talking about a change in a single day. The change in question happened in late December, so I do have SOME data.

If I lose sales for two years and then EVENTUALLY get a bump, that's two years of network effects and word-of-mouth that I've missed out on.
