I assume, having signed up to this list, that you understand what
wikitech-l is and where it is located

The fact that the "techies" do not actively seek out community input
is why we ended up with ParserFunctions. Furthermore these changes are
supposed to be 'community' decisions. The 'techies' are also not the
people who edit Wikipedia articles the most. They write code, fix
servers etc...

Anyone interested by MediaWiki's new programming language will have no
problem finding the conversation based on the information I provided.
It is wholly sufficient.
