Thanks for that Erik.
Do you - or anyone else - know what would happen to discussions that have
taken place with the extension installed if it was subsequently uninstalled?

It states on the extension page that this
extension is being developed
with
the aim of being integrated into MW 2.0 - is this
an aspiration of just
the
extension developers, or also of the MW
developers themselves?
That extension description page is generally way out of date. There
are currently no plans to make LQT part of MediaWiki proper.
Wikimedia is contracting David McCabe, the developer of the extension,
to address known bugs, usability issues and add wanted features. Our
goal is to experiment with the extension in limited contexts such as
site-wide forums and feedback areas. If WMF does end up adopting the
extension, even in such narrow cases, it will likely be an
organizational commitment to continued maintenance. But currently
there is no such commitment from WMF.
LQT is used by
WikiEducator.org, which does regularly update
MediaWiki, so there is at least one existing community that has an
interest in making sure LQT works with recent releases.
