Seems to me we should indicate pings in the link status text (bug 401352), indicate pinging in the status text while we load the next page, and retain the about:config pref to disable pinging.
The first two measures seem low-cost and constitute a strict improvement on the current privacy situation, making it somewhat clearer to the user what's going on. The text will still be difficult to understand but less obscure than the Google-vomit URLs you see now. Leaving the about:config pref in means that extensions can disable pings but probably not enough to drive people away from using the feature.
