At the architecture summit yesterday we had a

TitleValue proposal and the vast majority of folks thought it was a great

the path to Javaify MediaWiki. I was one of the 10%.
We resolved to talk more about the commit before merging it because of the
objections of our minority. I felt somewhat vindicated. I slept on it. Now
I don't think we made the right choice. I think more discussion is a waste
of time and we should just keep moving and try to catch the Javaification
if it starts creeping in.
Thank you for reconsidering, Nik. I fully support your proposal. The
concern obviously remains valid, and with all of our eyeballs on the code
and pre-merge review, we should be able to prevent disasters.
Cheers!
