Personally, I don't mind implementing it either

consensus on where this code should reside. The code is pretty clean and
lightweight, so it wouldn't increase the footprint of core MediaWiki (it
would actually decrease the existing footprint slightly since it replaces
more hacky existing core code). So core bloat isn't really an issue. The
issue is: Where does it most make sense for disambiguation features to
reside? Should disambiguation pages be supported out of the box or require
an extension to fully support?
I'd say extension. I can think of lots of wikis that don't use
disambiguation pages. If we really want, we can stash it in
the default tarball along with the other bundled extensions.
