Personally, I do not need to compete with myself for badges, which is why I disabled Achievements. Also, I do not think it will be useful in prompting editors to contribute, which could account for the feature to be deprecated, though I may might be projecting my own ideas about this on staff. On DF, it did not work that well; I've got way too many edits and badges to make it worthwhile, or even possible, to anybody to compete with me. Now that enabling Achievements can only be done by proxy and probably only for a limited time window, I think it only fair to ask you if you want it enabled or not. Let me know and I'll ask staff to turn it on, if you so wish. It's however unlikely that they're going to maintain the software, so in the long run they'll probably completely remove the feature even for those wikis where it is on.

About the Lady's Mantle: it's a bit more complex than that. The feature is inherent to the Triple Goddess concept on which JB based the Faerie Queens: the girl growing up, the woman of reproductive age, the grandmother caring for the young.

They're not so much separate entities as different stages in the life of any woman that lives long enough to partake of all three of them - there are ways and occasions for the maiden to become a mother (marriage?), and for the mother to become a crone (retirement?); we just haven't seen them.

Molly is pretty much set up for this (ritual) passage, with Harry pretty much her obligate partner; I just hope that JB will treat Murphy a lot more kindly than he did Susan or Lash.
