Hey,
you're adding in a whole new set of incompatibilities.
How so?
You're really not thinking of this from the perspective of the person
using the software.
Oh, glad to know you understand what I am thinking, since clearly I do not.
In case of the components
created for Wikidata, we have been supporting Composer for a while now, which is a great fit to our needs.
"We" in this situation is Wikidata and not the developer community. In fact, there were a number of threads about composer with no consensus and a number of objections.
Given my first sentence, I would think it is indeed abundantly clear this is about the components created for Wikidata and not the whole community. Thanks for making it even more obvious.
So, what you're saying is that the Wikidata team has
made a decision on behalf of the community?
What I am saying is that I have played around with something that might be of use to the community in general. Where did I imply I, or the WD team, had made a decision for the whole community here? I don't see it, but since you know better then me what I am thinking, please explain.
Something that's being sidestepped here is that extensions are being used
as a means to avoid getting things reviewed for core. Quite a few of these extensions should just be core functionality or they shouldn't exist.
This is preposterous, and I find the accusation you made outrageous. I'd love to have some constructive discussion here, though this is very difficult if you come at it from the angle you are.
Cheers
