This is a proposal to move away from action= in favor of Special pages. Perhaps obsolete, since action handling was rewritten since?
No, it's not obsolete. Actions should still be removed in favor of special pages.
Cleaning up action handling was a waste of developer cycles to further enshrine a bad system :)
I kind of like the ideas of "views" on a page though (e.g. history), and the SpecialPage system seems like a bad match. On the other hand, I'd be very happy if we could rewrite EditPage :)
