In the long run, we will want to apply a code review process to these changes as with any other deployed code
I hope such things will not need to go through the WMF. Or is that what
you'd like?
I hope it's not an other step from WMF to prevent the application of community decisions when they not agree with it. I fear that they will use this to bypass community decisions. For example like forcing again VE on everyone on enwki: last year, sysop were able to apply community decision against Erik wishes only because they had access to site wide js or CSS.
