Conversation has been taking place on CodeReview about whether people 
(developer and system administrators) will find it confusing that 
there's code in both "extensions/Vector" and "skins/vector" that are 
related but not the same thing.

I personally find it simple to understand and don't expect most 
developers and system administrators to feel otherwise, but in the 
interest of upholding the community-driven decision making process that 
has made MediaWiki what it is, I wanted to bring a little extra 
attention to the matter so we can make a decision and move on with our 
lives.

I'm interested in views on whether the Vector extension should be named 
something else or remain as it is. If your view is that it should be 
renamed, suggestions for what it should be named would be useful.

Apologies in advance for the sheer triviality of this matter; 
unfortunately these kinds of bike shed problems [2] tend to be 
infinitely exciting, while complex matters are more often met with 
general disinterest.
