Hmm, now i think about that point: The
"normal" third party user should
download the latest build of MediaWiki via the "tarball installer" [1].
In this packages, Vector (and monobook as well) is still included. So
the "normal" third party user won't see any problem with this. The users
normally download MediaWiki from git are developers or persons who want
to learn MediaWiki development. And (that's my personal point of view),
they can figure out, where to get Vector (or some other skin) from and
put it into the installations skin folder. And if i run a composer
command or git, sorry, but form e it doesn't really matter if i look at
the effort that needs to do this.
Indeed, that was my thinking. Developers can also use MediaWiki-Vagrant
which has already been updated to handle the new way of including skins
(<3 Gergő and Bryan).
