--- Comment #6 from Matthias Mullie <[email protected]> ---
Legoktm: why do you feel AbuseFilter should only be an interim solution?

AbuseFilter accepts different "categories", so AFT entries are separate from
regular text. Using AbuseFilter to filter spam has 2 distinct advantages over
building something into AFT (not to mention the additional work to build it):
- AbuseFilter does not require WMF intervention to add/fix/deploy new rules
- Community is familiar with AbuseFilter already, so more people can contribute

In addition, AFT also checks $wgSpamRegex and SpamBlacklist already.
