If the volunteers need or want something, they make it. That's how MediaWiki happened, how Wikipedia happened, how the very Foundation for which you work happened, and while now there is infrastructure in which paid professionals (ie you) handle some of it, you cannot handle everything, and to think you can just shuts out the volunteers who make the projects strong, and who began the entire thing in the first place.
Indeed. Let's not let perfect be the enemy of the good.
There's a current need for a more lasting replacement for the EdwardsBot hack, and a good extension that accomplishes this need and has been tested and vetted. There's no reason not to enable it now and then disable it if it becomes obsolete with the new extension you're developing.
