list= is much better suited for various non-current-user specific queries. list already has allusers and usercontribs - similar to getting user info. We could add some other list=... query to get user contribs and other public data in bulk (for many users). Your thoughts?
This was done in r30197: * meta=userinfo ** Getting information about new users (a relatively new feature anyway) has been moved to list=users
NOTE: This is NOT YET LIVE on Wikimedia servers, and no one knows exactly when it will be.

Hello,
What influence does this have on asking user information on the currentuser? Is that still in meta or is that also moved to list=users?

Still in meta=userinfo. For clarity: information about the *current* user is in meta=userinfo (which works exactly as it used to), information about other users is in list=users.

Ok, never mind, from code I understand that the it has been changed back to its old behaviour.
