I would wait on this. We undeployed this only on the Wikimedia cluster. Non-Wikimedia wikis that use Parsoid/JS might still be using this extension. In another year's time, Parsoid/JS will be unsupported and that might be a good time to do this.

LGoto moved this task from Needs Triage to Backlog on the Parsoid board.

Unfortunately we can't stop drive-by "helpful" users making it seem like this software is supported for third party users. It isn't.

MediaWiki 1.31 is EOL and so is Parsoid/JS. It already had stopped receiving anything but security releases.

With T250316, this extension is already showing deprecation notices; It's safe to say this extension is ripe for archival.
