Following the comments on that bug (especially Brion's[1]), and the posts on this thread at wikitech-l I suggest the following:
* Implement a backend interface to plug-in (other/any) editor frontends (bug 26914) [2] * Move current core editor (aka "Monobook editor") to an extension for those who want it, do this before 1.18 release. * Make minor adjustments to WikiEditor to use this new hook * Keep WikiEditor in an extension and bundle it with 1.18 or 1.19
Result: When people download/install 1.18 they have WikiEditor bundled by default, they can choose to not install / pull out the WikiEditor extension and/ or plug-in ClassicToolbar instead.
