We will continue to support Gadgets to the best of our ability (hence why adding Gadget messages to the whitelist is still a to-do), but the extension simply isn't how we want our long-term custom architecture and security design to look. So we are not going to enable it anywhere - certainly not while the messages are locked down since the extension would be practically useless anyway to a fresh install - while continuing to allow it in the places it has already been installed. I'd argue that the difference between SMW/Gadgets support is that you can't simply "remove" SMW from any wiki it's used on, without completely nuking most of the wiki's, whereas Gadgets could quite easily be removed without any issue as it wouldn't affect any content. I'm already advising a wiki that uses Gadgets to shift its gadgets code to common.js/common.css if possible.
