--- Comment #10 from Krinkle <[email protected]> ---
Update on this front:


Gadget authors have not yet been given a fair chance to migrate their scripts.
Disabling this now will needlessly upset users and break actively deployed user
applications on mediawiki.org. Given the complex nature of our user scripts
(cross-loading from different wikis), we'll definitely need a phase where these
emit deprecation notices so that developers have the chance of migrating their
scripts *before* we boldly remove it hoping they'll quickly fix it. That's
counting on breakage as the means to communicate change and I dont like that.

Right now we have about a dozen other highly visible migrations going on in the
front-end. These legacy globals is not one of them. They haven't been announced
very publicly, have no deprecation warnings for developers either.

They're also cheap to maintain compatibility for. I wouldn't prioritise pushing
for the removal of these in the current MediaWiki release cycle.
