Conversation has been taking place on CodeReview about whether people
(developer and system administrators) will find it confusing that
there's code in both "extensions/Vector" and "skins/vector" that
are
related but not the same thing.
I personally find it simple to understand and don't expect most
developers and system administrators to feel otherwise, but in the
interest of upholding the community-driven decision making process that
has made MediaWiki what it is, I wanted to bring a little extra
attention to the matter so we can make a decision and move on with our
lives.
I'm interested in views on whether the Vector extension should be named
something else or remain as it is. If your view is that it should be
renamed, suggestions for what it should be named would be useful.
Apologies in advance for the sheer triviality of this matter;
unfortunately these kinds of bike shed problems [2] tend to be
infinitely exciting, while complex matters are more often met with
general disinterest.
