In response to recent comments in our code review tool

some extensions should be merged into core MediaWiki, or not. I would
like to try and initiate a productive conversation about this topic in
hopes that we can collaboratively define a set of guidelines for
evaluating when to move features out of core and into an extension or
out of an extension and into core.
I know I mentioned this in a CodeReview comment, but I'll mention it again
here:

I think developing a set of guidelines for this issue might be nice, though
I'm not sure there's really all that much disagreement about what should and
shouldn't be in core currently.
