To top off the issues with Alias, it can't be used to setup a 404 image thumbnail handler and it can't be used in the future plans of MediaWiki handling 404s internally.
Don't Wikimedia wikis use Alias? How are they going to handle this?
Rephrase, how are they handling this?
Also note by the way, that at the moment this thread is primarily about changing the recommended setup in our documentation. Afaik MediaWiki can and will (at least for a long while to come) support both. Even more because the default set up out of the box is /w/index.php/Page_name, and the only way we can make sure existing wikis don't break is by supporting this.
