I didn't see it in the docs above, so thought I'd ask... Is this going to
include rollout of the CodeEditor extension, or will that be done
separately?

This is exciting! Do we have plans for further measurement when it comes to
Lua's impact on page load times/publishing any results so far? In addition
to the general benefit of not having to program using wikitext/parser
functions, I seem to remember the performance improvements being the big
selling point of Scribunto.

Best of luck on the launch,
