Even if it didn't happen until 1.20, I don't think it'd be a huge deal...we'd just be maintaining the status quo. In the long run, I think it makes zero difference whatsoever, as once Real Extension Management becomes a reality, it shouldn't matter at all whether the extension was in the tarball or not--and in fact, I would argue we should keep them *out* of the tarball at that point, to keep download size to a minimum and since hopefully installing extensions would've become painless. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
