Thread:Talk:Requests for comment/Extension management with Composer/MediaWiki compatibility

The approach currently used by SMW and some other extensions does not allow specifying which MW versions are supported as far as I know. Using a meta package into which both MW and extensions are installed would solve the issue, though hardly seems like a viable approach at this point. (This means a big workflow change and requires all global scope assumptions in core to be fixed first.) I'm investigating how to do this in a way that can be used in the near future. If anyone figured this out, I'd be very interested in the details.
