Hey,
- MediaWiki is not a shining beacon of good architecture. I'd argue it
should mostly be considered as a big blob of generally badly designed legacy code
This has nothing to do with the subject at hand.
It does, as it implies serious mistakes where made in the past, and that one should not be religious about existing practices being the true one way. And it is relevant for some of the other thoughts I listed when thinking through their implications.
Cheers
