It's the worst case scenario. "Bot
syncing" is a bad practice (and it was
such since the beginning of times). Since we have banners (CentralNotice)
and interwiki links (Wikidata) centralized, perhaps we should move forward
and start centralizing on-wiki development efforts. There are also "global"
gadgets (i.e. suitable for most wikis), and said above should be the case
for Gadgets 2.0 as well.
Someone official (anomie?) mentioned this a couple of other times too,
but also said that it is something 'on the roadmap' but without any
concrete dates, by which I assume it is *at least* a year away.
This topic will no doubt come up during our (Platform's) next "quarterly
review" which will be in June. Thats when we prioritize our effort for
big things during the next quarter.
