I'm not surprised that I got some information wrong about this, but something about your revert seems incorrect as well. The announcement email was sent in August 2021; did it really take a year and a half between when the decision was made and when it was announced? The email makes it sound like a recent decision. The wording there is a little unclear, but it seems to suggest that the decision in March 2020 was just to go forward with a pilot project for Vue.js, to determine if it really did make sense to use as MediaWiki's standard JS framework; and that in August 2021 it was decided that the pilot project was enough of a success to make the official decision. Is that incorrect?

Sadly, it did. No-one could agree who was allowed to announce it, until finally we just did it anyway.

No, the working group to decide on Vue.JS reported in September 2019, hence the RfC launched at that point just as the RfC system was being dismantled.
Okay, strange but true! Thanks for the explanation. I just modified the wording of the history somewhat; hopefully it's still accurate.
