So, unless there's any objection, I will go ahead
and merge the Vector
extension into core as part of the Vector skin immediately, rather
than
waiting until after 1.17.

I agree aswell. From the installs of MediaWiki I did so far this year
for websites,
pretty much all of 'em are specifically requesting the "Wikipedia
software" (because asuming)
that MediaWiki is what Wikipedia runs. Which, by all means, is true.
However, installing it in such a way that the end result is comparable
in terms of
features is yet another. (for example the element ID change that
mismatched between
the UsabilityInitiative-extension and the Vector-skin (#mw-panel etc.)).
The UsabilityInitiative has worked hard on making a new look and feel
for MediaWiki.
So I think it makes sense that both the PHP backend, HTML-structure
and CSS, aswell as the JavaScript
involved are being made available as one "Vector", as supposed to
seperated.
Also, for what it's worth, I personally found the name
"UsabilityInitiative" as Extension partially
confusing aswell. Since the UsabilityInitiative "team" made the Vector
"skin" aswell, which was
coded in the core from the beginning. Why some part got split up as
'extending' was unclear to me.
Looking forward to 1.17 :-)
