Conversation has been taking place on CodeReview about whether people (developer and system administrators) will find it confusing that there's code in both "extensions/Vector" and "skins/vector" that are related but not the same thing.
I personally find it simple to understand and don't expect most developers and system administrators to feel otherwise, but in the interest of upholding the community-driven decision making process that has made MediaWiki what it is, I wanted to bring a little extra attention to the matter so we can make a decision and move on with our lives.
I'm interested in views on whether the Vector extension should be named something else or remain as it is. If your view is that it should be renamed, suggestions for what it should be named would be useful.
Apologies in advance for the sheer triviality of this matter; unfortunately these kinds of bike shed problems [2] tend to be infinitely exciting, while complex matters are more often met with general disinterest.
