Like Kaldari, I think it's perfectly fine to have this experimental approach served by a separate extension until an implementation strategy for core has been agreed upon. However, I would recommend pursuing a shorter term resolution so we actually ensure that we work together on a single codebase, rather than diverging further. Can we shoot, _aspirationally_, for settling on a standard template/widget approach in core within the next quarter, and definitely within the next two quarters? I.e. dis-Mantle sooner rather than later? Thanks, Jon, for posting the details of this approach publicly. I've asked Tomasz to facilitate ongoing conversation about this internally, as well.
