I agree we have to be wary about consistency. I'm not sure putting
these kinds of changes on the release train incrementally is the way
to go -- perhaps having a test instance in Labs run a WIP changeset or
branch til we're happy with it, including things like RTL testing?
We do have a bit more time since the release train is slowing down
over the Wikimania period, AIUI.
With that said, kudos for moving this forward :)
