Personally as I said I can only see it as a side thing, a theme for a world, not a main feature of BtW, but that's just me. (I mess with water a lot)
Wait, isn't that coming to conclusion? :)
Play it man. Just play it :)
Not at all, it is an initial reaction without any first hand experience :]
I'm having a lot of trouble finding time to play my main world at the moment, let alone adapt to 1.8 and try the new changes in BtW :[
I *should* have some extra free time in a couple of weeks though. So I most certainly will give it a go.
EDIT:
To be fair, I've always wanted a reason to build water canals and weird flows, if ever get to it I'll showcase an old cane farm I built back in 1.5 or 6 that had this huge water system that originated from 1 water source (Had 2 initialy)
My point is that, especially after pistons, I could just ditch the entire structure and use many source blocks, but I liked the idea of it all coming from a single source. It would be very hard to build above ground though without the ability to place that single source *unless* we also get a way to transport water upwards,which I'm confident is something you are looking at for the future.
I rambled on a bit, but it all boils down to the 7 block spread of water being a big problem, and the reason why I never actually used water canals as opposed to placing sources that much.
So my reaction is not at all negative to this change, it simply is such a big change that it feels like a different game, and I would like to be able to play with both functions depending on the mood, so props for making it optional.
It sure feels more "right" though :]

EDIT2:
Found these 2 pics:
All the water used in the system originates from that water tank like thing at the top of the back structure,whose sole purpose is splitting and rerouting water :P
And it is all legit! No mods or material spawning at all.
Too bad the farm never worked due to hideous framerate drops..(it is kinda overkill in size,it yields iirc 1450 sugar canes per harvest)
War..
War never changes.
