Why should your unilateral re-write become THE mediawiki?
It shouldn't. I just want some improvements and I'm going to implement them. If this someday becomes "THE mediawiki" is really irrelevant for me. The only point that matters is that I'm going to implement my wishes and it would be nice if others also enjoy them and perhaps some could help a little bit.
I never had the intention to replace the existing wiki and will never have. If people enjoy my work they may use it, if not then they should stay on current wiki.
In that case can you take the feature discussions to another location? According to the list info page, wikitech-l is for discussing the technical organisation of the Wikipedias, not for organising the development of every single fork.
