We plan to remove the aforementioned formats as soon as MediaWiki 1.19 is branched so that these changes will take effect in 1.20, but would like to hear from you first if there are good reasons why we shouldn't do it or postpone it. Please have your say.
Breaking changes in the API are a Bad Thing. Sometimes Bad Things must be done, but before doing so, I'd like to see the other options exhausted.
Yeah I'm definitely +1 here. I'm fine with making breaking changes iff they're necessary but we should be as gentle as possible about it when they happen.
