That's why it gets its own cluster. Nobody is saying that the s3 replication is acceptable. Pretty much everyone who has said anything to the subject has agreed that yes, there is a problem. The fact that s3 died and s1 and s2 remained up is, as you and others have mentioned, is bad luck. If it had been s1 that died, we'd see similar complaints about a lack of support for the biggest wiki. When it is said that fixes are in the works and to please be patient, it serves no purpose to continue bringing it up. The horse is dead, stop beating it senseless. As to why the Lucene stuff hasn't been rolled out 100%, I cannot say (although Aryeh did bring up some good points I wasn't aware of). Perhaps there needs to be some more fine tuning before its more widely rolled out? As with most things: bugfixes and problem solving take precedence over new features (as well they should). Perhaps there've been issues with other things that have pulled time away from rolling out this new feature. I don't know what this thread expects. From the subject alone, I'm thinking the only acceptable answer is "Yes, there's a massive conspiracy against smaller wikis. Now you've figured us out." What answer would you have developers give? -Chad OT: Shouldn't this be on toolserver-l and/or wikitech-l? It *hardly* involves the foundation. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
