used to be housed as extensions.
That wasn't how I interpreted Petr's comment, since the Vector
extension is small and has several features which are uncontroversial
and should be useful for almost all MediaWiki installations.
Petr said "don't merge anything into the core", not "don't merge
rarely-used features into the core".
