This. Renames are bad, period. Just look at the issues surrounding trying to standardize extension include files as Foo/Foo.php for the new installer[0]. That being said, I don't *think* we have a lot of people using the Vector extension (WMF sites, Translatewiki?), so a rename in this case shouldn't inconvenience a lot of people. If there is some compelling reason to keep this as an extension, a rename *is* in order, since Vector simply will not do. I do see that Roan (just now) has replied to the thread indicating his support for merging this stuff to core as well, so I wonder if it's all a moot point now and the extension can go the way of the Dodo. -Chad [0] See r65238-40, other revs from siebrand around 17th-18th of April this year _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
