"In practise, the main use case is for user js to store information tied to a
specific user."
Yes, but it certainly isn't the only use case. I've used this feature several
times in extensions. Indeed, I didn't know about this prefix change until my
extensions started breaking on en.wiki. It seems like this feature is useful
for any case in which you need to store user options in a way that is more
persistent than a cookie, but you don't want to use the prefs interface (either
because it would be pref spam or you can't implement the specific interface you
need via HTMLForm). While I agree 'userjs-' was a poor choice for a prefix, I
wouldn't suggest changing it again.
Also, next time a non-backwards-compatible change is made to the API, please
try to advertise it more widely. Thanks!
