It's fine that you share Steven's view on that -- but the question was whether these things are a block to the Draft namespace implementation. An extension may be a good idea and I don't necessarily dispute that, but it wasn't part of this proposal and it regards changes that should be proposed separately. I might even support it, once it's clear what the proposed changes are (all I've seen spelled out so far are a new landing page and some sort of special permission changes, which are both still pretty vague). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
