Hey,
Perhaps I have some misconceptions here, but was the Action class not
"recently" (~1.18) introduced, and is it not required to use actions to
specify behaviours for alternate content models?
Cheers

Don't panic. Don't be evil.
Actions have existed for a long time before the Action class was created.
The Action class basically migrated a bunch of actions we already had. And
created yet another way of defining an action.
1.4+ hack into the UnknownAction hook
1.12+ use them MediaWikiPerformAction hook
1.18+ define an Action subclass
((Yes, all three of these still work))
;) and for bonus points even though we have action classes now. The code
for a number of these actions is STILL inside the Article class.
The Action class basically made it in besides a number of us objecting,
groaning, and *facepalm*ing at the idea.
As for requiring actions for alternate content models. That was just a
plain bad idea.
