Description Ilya Zimin 2011-11-20 21:44:15 UTC 
More open source standards!
Comment 1 p858snake 2011-11-20 21:50:42 UTC 
Is this actually a standard?
Comment 2 Max Semenik 2011-11-21 03:47:51 UTC 
The difference between .php and .cfg is that you need to make extra webserver configuration changes to make the latter executable, and it may be impossible on some crappy hosts. If it's not executable, it will be possible to downolad it via HTTP --> your site is screwed.
Comment 3 Daniel Friesen 2011-11-22 03:53:35 UTC 
Not to mention it'll also kill WikiFarm functionality, the ability to use small hooks without building an extension to do so, various tricks to reduce configuration duplication, and kill off tricks like using array_fill to give all namespaces subpages.
And it doesn't fit in that well with our dream of having a configuration ui.
