In CR comments on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/135290/
it has been proposed that we make a git clone of the MW core not be
installable until $IP/vendor is populated somehow -- either by
separately cloning the mediawiki/core/vendor project, or preferably by
running composer to obtain dependencies.

I have suggested, as a compromise, to make the vendor directory be a
submodule pointing to mediawiki/core/vendor. Then users can either run
"git submodule update --init" to obtain dependencies, or they can omit
submodule initialisation and instead run composer.

I would like to hear more comments on this.

That's a lot of discussion, and I'm not sure which bits are actually relevant here, so to clarify - are you saying that it's been proposed that MediaWiki not be installable from git without extra steps? If so, what would be the purpose of that?
