--- Comment #10 from Mark A.

My goal is not to reduce "bloat", by which I assume you mean the size of the tarball (since modules are maintained outside of phase3). While elegance and simplicity are good things to have in the code, those goals are orthogonal to bloat. My goal (prejudiced by my daily grind through Bugzilla) is to reduce support costs. If you look, you'll find several (hundred?) bugs in Bugzilla of people asking why MediaWiki doesn't support <ref> tags out of the box. Each time, the response is the same: install the Cite extension. If we bundled the Cite extension in the tarball and the new installer provided a clear explanation of what you get if you enable it, that would reduce the number of support requests in Bugzilla, That is why I aiming to have modules that are split out from core included in the tarball. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
