The extension is still installed on Wikipedia, as there are revisions that
used that and are still in the database.  It's a bit irrelevant for
Wikidata though and don't think it affects the test system much at all,
whether or not we have that extension.

Developers have created a maintenance script to migrate all the old stuff
to the new system, so that Oversight can eventually be uninstalled.
