Thank you, everyone, for responding so far (not trying to stop you here). Here's where it seems we're at.
1. Having an extension called "Vector" is neither descriptive or clear, and it is anticipated to cause confusion. 2. System administrators are not enjoying things being switched around on them, and would prefer the name either not change or for the extension to be merged into core. 3. 3 out of 5 code reviewers are voting that it should be merged into core (Brion and Tim have not weighed in yet).
My original hesitation to merge Vector (not to be lumped together with WikiEditor) into core was always that we were going to be extremely lean on CodeReview prior to 1.17 due to Tim Starling's limited availability right now. Since then we've added Roan, Chad, and me, and even brought Brion back for a bit part time to help out, thus increasing our capacity beyond what was originally expected. I think under these new circumstances, if we have Roan and Chad willing to help me integrate it into core and sign off on it, it will likely be of very little additional effort for our release manager (Tim Starling) to sign off as well, thus alleviating my apprehension about merging it prior to 1.17.
So, unless there's any objection, I will go ahead and merge the Vector extension into core as part of the Vector skin immediately, rather than waiting until after 1.17.

That's an entirely different discussion, and the results of that discussion have so far been that any such action is being deferred until after 1.17.
With pretty much every participant in this thread (including myself, for the record) saying we should move these extensions into core ASAP (which I interpret to mean before 1.17), I think that statement is outdated at best. I realize you're hesitant to move Vector and WikiEditor into core, let alone do so before the 1.17 release, but I haven't seen anyone share that belief, and frankly I don't think any new commenters will.
Let's just move Vector and WikiEditor into core soon and be done with it.
WikiEditor is a different thing at current stage. It breaks WYSIWYG made from FCKeditor and don't give anything important in exchange. Vector extension is ready to work while WikiEditor still needs a lot of work if you ask me.
