I think this is the key point. Remember that this is the "developer summit"
and
not an "architecture summit", and as such anything MediaWiki-related is up
for
grabs. And if the topic of templates comes up, specifically what we need to
fix
in templates or what new features we should focus on next, who better to
have
there for that than the users of templates themselves.
