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.
