Thank you, everyone, for responding so far (not trying to stop you
here). Here's where it seems we're at.
1. Having an extension called "Vector" is neither descriptive or
clear, and it is anticipated to cause confusion.
2. System administrators are not enjoying things being switched
around on them, and would prefer the name either not change or for
the extension to be merged into core.
3. 3 out of 5 code reviewers are voting that it should be merged into
core (Brion and Tim have not weighed in yet).
My original hesitation to merge Vector (not to be lumped together with
WikiEditor) into core was always that we were going to be extremely lean
on CodeReview prior to 1.17 due to Tim Starling's limited availability
right now. Since then we've added Roan, Chad, and me, and even brought
Brion back for a bit part time to help out, thus increasing our capacity
beyond what was originally expected. I think under these new
circumstances, if we have Roan and Chad willing to help me integrate it
into core and sign off on it, it will likely be of very little
additional effort for our release manager (Tim Starling) to sign off as
well, thus alleviating my apprehension about merging it prior to 1.17.
So, unless there's any objection, I will go ahead and merge the Vector
extension into core as part of the Vector skin immediately, rather than
waiting until after 1.17.
