At the architecture summit yesterday we had a conversation about the TitleValue proposal and the vast majority of folks thought it was a great start. Something like 10% of us thought the patch _might_ be a start down the path to Javaify MediaWiki. I was one of the 10%.
We resolved to talk more about the commit before merging it because of the objections of our minority. I felt somewhat vindicated. I slept on it. Now I don't think we made the right choice. I think more discussion is a waste of time and we should just keep moving and try to catch the Javaification if it starts creeping in.
Thank you for reconsidering, Nik. I fully support your proposal. The concern obviously remains valid, and with all of our eyeballs on the code and pre-merge review, we should be able to prevent disasters.
Cheers!
