I think its a bit disingenuous to say that the only issue is the naming of the Vector extension. My opposition is to splitting the UsabilityInitiative into separate extensions for what will very likely be only a *single release*. And as Chad noted, there's also the question of whether they should even continue to be an extension. Or to put it another way, should we intentionally hold off on adding the usability stuff to core until the next release because we're already adding ResourceLoader in 1.17? That's hardly a bike shed problem. -- Alex (wikipedia:en:User:Mr.Z-man) _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
