That's a good question.  My initial instinct is to say "just
Scribunto/Lua", but follow that closely with a CodeEditor deployment
very soon.  Tim may have something else in mind for this, though, so
he may correct me..  Is there any reason you're aware of not to deploy
CodeEditor as well?  Any reason why we should avoid deploying
Scribunto without CodeEditor?

Tim did some initial benchmarks which showed a pretty marked
improvement with the Cite template:

The cluster impact is going to be pretty modest (possibly unmeasurable
at this point) but will have a positive impact once templates are
converted to Lua.
