@Samwilson, could you tell me, please, does this mean that at some point it will be impossible to have a wiki without labels, in Wikimedia or out, in production or on some testing wiki, except for those that do not use versions 1.47 and later? And if the answer is yes, when it will happen? I'm asking because I need to decide if to spend a lot of coding time to adjust my code in a MediaWiki extension to the case when there are no labels installed on a wiki, or I can skip that part. Thank you.

Yes, the plan is that at some point it'll be unconditionally available on all wikis. We talked about leaving the feature flag in place, but the feeling is that MediaWiki already has so many config options and that each one adds a cost that isn't worth it in this case (similarly for watchlist expiry).

Thank you. Does this mean that you can't give an upproximated date?
