I'm not a real MediaWiki developer, so it may be a silly question: How
hard it is to convert a gadget into an extension? If it's not too
hard, wouldn't it be better to redo useful gadgets as extensions?
Unless i miss something very basic, this will make them easier to
maintain, install, update and localize.
