Not that I can think of really. This gives meta administrators (and anyone else
with 'editinterface' on meta) the ability to easily run javascript on a user's
account on every single wiki, however meta admins have historically had much
greater access than normal sysops (global spam/title blacklists, etc). I don't
personally see it as an issue, but I'll drop a note on meta just in case.

The only other wiki that could be used is loginwiki, except nearly all users
there don't even have the 'edit' right, making it useless. I don't think
creating a new wiki for this makes sense either.

Yes. That said, if users currently are importing their global.js in the old
style (creating a common.js on every wiki loading global.js), their JS will be
double-loaded, which might cause issues.

Code wise...or? bug 57225 (use ResourceLoader) is an absolute must.

The original extension did, I neglected to re-add it into the ResourceLoader
version. Will do that shortly.
