Hey,
I'm curious what the list thinks of deprecating and eventually removing
the
Hooks class. Some relevant info:
/**
- Hooks class.
- Used to supersede $wgHooks, because globals are EVIL.
- @since 1.18
*/

I personally find the comment hilarious and hope you see why when looking at the "class". Looks like usage in core and extensions is not to extensive, so switching to something more sane seems quite feasible.
Cheers

Can this please please please be done *after* my patch clarifying hook execution logic is merged? I'll include a link when I'm on my desktop, but if I have to rebase it again it's never going to get through.
Also, what alternative implementation are you considering?
