This is intentionally a technical post, soliciting feedback on the
technical approach. :-)
The changes Stas are talking about are mostly refactoring
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_refactoring> which will not, in and of
itself, affect anything user-facing. That said, Stas is working on this
primarily to lay the groundwork towards resolving T121430
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T121430>, which would enable a greater
rollout of the completion suggester; you can see that that task blocks
T121616 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T121616>, which is the task
which tracks things we need to do to roll the completion suggester out more
broadly.
Hopefully that provides some context. :-)
Thanks,
Dan
