Could people weigh in on the ticket about what it might take to get this into mw.Widgets instead? James noted, as has been discussed on this list, that at the moment people are leery of adding any further bloat to oojs-ui (particularly if it's a nontrivial number of KB like this). A fuller solution would entail splitting out critical oojs-ui components in a manner where they're more easily loaded piecemeal, but it sounded like that's more involved.

I do wonder though if we've spent much time studying the ease of getting at least some part of oojs-ui split out or making it so that new stuff going forward is part of the oojs-ui family but it's not as monolithich?
