I would also like to express my disappointment at third party users being
thrown under the bus once again. Several people have been putting a lot of
effort into supporting third party users, so it really saddens me that this
is dismissed as an irrelevance by some so easily.
Third party users were not thrown under the bus. Unfortunately, the solution you are
looking for in terms of extension installation is not yet available with the current tools
available. That is just the unfortunate truth. We are not going to misuse libraries and
hack together MediaWiki just so extension installation can be *slightly* easier.
