Thanks everyone. My goal was to come up with a passive way to put hooks "everywhere" - or as close to everwhere as possible. Is there a better solution? I'm open to suggestions.
Also, if implemented, what version(s) should be targeted? I'm thinking 1.8.4, 1.9.3 and 1.10.0 - your thoughts? Is there going to be a 1.6.10 that would benefit from this? Thanks in advance.

Dear Wiki Devs,
I have a proposal for adding new hooks into the MW codebase, and I'm
looking
for feedback (positive and negative). The goal of the proposed changes
is
to give Extension Devs the ability to cleanly hijack just about any
class in
the system. Here are the details: . . .
It seems like a good idea. It should be reverse-compatible as long as we don't change the public interface (well, or protected interface) for classes, which would generally break reverse-compatibility anyway.
