​Yeah, we're very keen on our work being useful​ for other teams. An mw.ui
layer on top of oojs-ui is very much an objective, and the ability to
theme/skin/etc. that (so that Agora/whatever changes can be applied
system-wide in one go). The commit above should get merged in the next day
or so; the next step is to move it into MW core, as part of the Great
VisualEditor Repo Split of 2013. :-)

​Well, hopefully we'll have made some actual implementation progress by
January, but yes, very much a worthwhile thing to discuss there. I suppose
we'll need to go away and write up an RfC, once we actually know what the
proposal is having tried some things out in practice.​
