It's definitely possible that this will end up in core at some point.

However, Chad is right that that doesn't necessarily require an extension.  The
namespace part can be done in wmf-config (that doesn't mean we necessarily
will), and core variables can be gated.

You can look at that both ways.  On the plus side, it enabled quicker
experimentation (both in the code sense and the analytics sense).  It
successfully resulted in some good functionality that was moved to core.  Other
stuff was done in core in a significantly different way, after learning lessons
from the extension implementation.  I think it also kept some rejected
functionality out of core.

On the downside, there was definitely Vector functionality that should have
been moved to core sooner.
