team equivalent) has already proven this. We've been there, done that. Now
it is up to Platform to implement it for the long term in a way that
doesn't break our servers. We no longer need event logging and what not,
it'll be like any other native link in MediaWiki core.

already been pointed out, most Wikimedia projects/big Wikipedias I remember

please communicate the exact schedule for the deployment of the solution in
MediaWiki core so that they can disable the custom JS in due time and avoid
weird interactions.
It will be
wonderful to get rid of the custom JS!

Indeed.
Though, I'm not sure if "most" and "default" is correct here.
Would you
be willing to work on a list of projects that have such a script (and
while
at it, note whether it is enabled by default and whether there is an
opt-in/opt-out e.g. in form of a gadget).

We've taken a first stab at such a list, and will share with Nemo et al if
you want. Right it looks like quite a few of the top ten Wikipedias, for
example, have changed to left aligned links.
