Thanks Oliver. As the analysis has now been published, I've marked our Q2 goal, which was to determine whether the feature is fit to push to production, as done <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Engineering/2015-16_Q2_Goals&diff=1954490&oldid=1945100>! \o/
Actual pushing of the feature to production can take place after the deployment freeze is over.
