As a team, we have responsibilities. For example,
that task that's on
there right now is a problem caused by our actions; we pulled that
extension for security reasons, then decided we couldn't reenable it due
to design issues. Therefore our actions have caused a very real
regression in our user experience. As the product manager, I find these
regressions concerning, and we have a responsibility to fix them.
In this specific case, if the security is solved we can probably
reenable it despite its design issue unless that causes performances or
more security issues (or maybe it is flawed by design).
I disagree: that extension shouldn't have been enabled in the first place.
Drastically rearranging [[Special:Watchlist]] and [[Special:RecentChanges]]
for everyone based on three people responding to a poll seems insufficient
consensus to me.
And given the followup conversation at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Babel/Archives/2013-10#Enable_CleanCha…
it was enabled, there should probably be a new, well-advertised
discussion before re-enabling it.
