Yes, I view this as a good thing. I hope this means you're not planning to cut
corners and hide bad code in an extension ;-)

Not true. We've done plenty of experimental things in core before. The trick is
hiding them behind a feature flag so if we decide it's not such a great idea,
we can nuke it later (case in point: HTMLDiff).

I see how people may find developing core code daunting, but hiding in
extensions isn't the way to make MediaWiki better, and I have insanely serious
doubts about us ever moving extensions to core in a timely manner :)
