I think Yury has a point. Now would be a good time to maybe discuss exactly what's going on. As exciting a feature it may be, we cannot just "deploy next week" and then have "the schedule for deployment not yet decided".
Stuff like this should have a legitimate plan. Furthermore, in alignment with the previous thread on feature development, is there any hard discussion on enwiki, etc. showing the users want this feature? I know sure as hell that I'd love using this feature, but I don't represent all template developers everywhere.
Anyone else reminded of the recent topic:"Wikimedians are rightfully wary"
I think the sorts of things that MZMcBride was talking about in his op-ed. Sorry for the slightly off topic post, but this seemed like as good a time as any to point out a real life example.
I don't think that the process of introducing Scribuntu, which we have been talking about for years now, compares in anyway to something like, for example, WikiLove or AFT which essentially were deployed out of nowhere (to make an hyperbole)
