I agree with James' creation of bug 54203.

However, I will call out what I see as a double standard here. When it's
Meta-Wiki, code in an extension has you eager to pull in the reins; if this
were the English Wikipedia, experimental or other one-off changes are
_regularly_ deployed in extensions. Hell, the English Wikipedia basically has
Wikimedia Foundation development teams devoted to this.

Again, I agree that the extension needs work (or rather, Special:RecentChanges
needs work). But I think it's also fair to hold CleanChanges to the same
standards we hold other extensions to (security check, not out-of-sync with
Wikimedia values, a clear enhancement request and/or backed by community
consensus, etc.).

And in my experience, increased exposure to something, particularly something
incorrect or seemingly in need of improvement, increases the likelihood of
improvements taking place (cf. [[Linus's Law]] and [[m:Cunningham's Law]]).
