No, we don't discuss it there. I've undid the dependency on bug 21572. For
short urls intended for sharing articles on subjects we want title ids, not
page ids. There is no further discussion or implementation needed, the ShortUrl
extension already implements the title id concept and has been deployed on
several wikis. It is working fine.

I was pointing out that curid/diff/oldid are wrong for this purpose. I didn't
do that because we're still trying to figure out what is right, no we already
know how to solve this problem (namely with title ids, not page or revision
ids) and already did (with the ShortUrl extension).

I was merely pointing that out because someone else suggested we should use
that instead.
