Comment (by jadpm):

 Just wanted to stop and say that I am also following this ticket for years
 now (the number of people subscribed here may give an idea of whether this
 is really an interesting project or what), and I was really shocked to
 read that a revert on this merge was even proposed for no real reason
 besides that maybe someday somehow someone would propose a better (?)
 approach.

 I might be entirely wrong, but the approach of this ticket was basically
 extending the successfull hooks mechanism from PHP to JS, so I would be
 extremely excited and maybe a little surprised to see an alternative
 approach that does just that.

 Finally, I am the lead developer of a set of commercial plugins which has
 been using a ported namespaced clone of this library for some months now,
 and not only we found it valuable and usefull but it proved itself as a
 reliable extension of the plugins API that made WordPress so easy to use
 for developers.

 I personally would like to reserve my opinion about Gutenberg since
 neither this is the ticket to discuss it, nor it is the measure of all
 WordPress things happening now. Hope everybody could understand that too.
