This is a fallacy; sometimes, a WONTFIX is the appropriate solution, and project managers are also paid for making hard decisions and WONTFIXing bugs. (I've already expressed my opinion on whether it is appropriate here.) Alas, this is clearly not going to happen for Wikimedia wikis for reasons which are unconvincing to me; but unless somebody convinces the Board of Trustees or someone with comparable decisive power, we can't do anything about it. *However*, that doesn't stop the option itself from being implemented – even if it's not made available for Wikimedia wikis – so maintainers of third-party wikis who have a different set of priorities than WMF can make this extension available as opt-in or opt-out, not mandatory. I am CC-ing Mark Hershberger (hexmode), MediaWiki release manager, and asking for his input. I would suggest reopening the bug again, making it clear that this would be third-party only, and setting it to lowest priority to indicate that WMF teams are not going to spend any resources on it. I'm also imploring Siebrand to actually reply one more time instead of just closing the bug with no explanation, as it seems to me that Isarra's intention was exactly what I said above. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
