That's a lot of discussion, and I'm not sure
which bits are actually
relevant here, so to clarify - are you saying that it's been proposed
that MediaWiki not be installable from git without extra steps? If so,
what would be the purpose of that?
In the current change, the purpose is to provide a clean, feature-rich
interface which developers can use to send emails.
In particular, there is a mail library called SwiftMailer which
provides bounce detection, among other things. Bounce detection would
be a nice thing to have. It is proposed that developers use
SwiftMailer directly instead of using a MediaWiki wrapper which
optionally uses SwiftMailer. This would make the MW core smaller and
thus easier to maintain.
