So locally-editable site JavaScript, for locally-important gadgets and so forth, is in fact something that's needed.
That seems reasonable, but it's less clear to me that this should be bundled with / part of the 'editinterface' right, at least as it is currently managed (the ability to be able to change wording of system message is only related to being able to change javascript/CSS by way of hysterical raisins). Regardless of which process, in the end, is adopted to make management of sitewide customization to javascript etc, separating that from "normal" editinterface seems to me to be prerequisite.
This is true, but prerequisite to what? What I'm saying is that switching off local scripting in general until [unspecified condition] is met is going to be an immediately bad thing for every WMF wiki that doesn't get lots of WMF attention, which is most of them. So that's a thing that shouldn't be done just because admins on two wikis are acting like my daughter just before I withdraw her computer access.
