Hard enough the ops team would rather not try to rush it together at the last minute, as the infrastructure tweaks needed could break more stuff than the upgrade... [Fun fact: there *are* some leftover bits in the Wikimedia server infrastructure from our big 1.4->1.5 upgrade in '05 for serving different sites out of different versions, but it hasn't been exercised since. Some of the pieces are gone, others are ignored by other bits running maintenance scripts and such, and some would need to be recreated differently to deal with today's higher-scale traffic. It might happen for the next quarterly release, but not this time around.] > Theoretically you're right ;-).
