Wow. I'm in a state of complete shock for the lack of care here, #1 for the
fact that you (or apparently the whole swedish Wikipedia community which I
find very hard to believe) can't put in the 5 minutes needed entering a bug
report for something that may effect many others, and (#2) you instead go
the route of discussion to end up at a resolution to abandon the system in
whole.

Something will always break. There are no guarantees that stuff will always
work, expect it to be wonky right after deployment (it *IS* pre-release
software)

It's in the midst being rewritten
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/LiquidThreads_3.0

Honestly I'm completely blown away by the fact that the remote thought of
letting this go unreported for over a *WEEK* without being reported to the
technical staff was at any point an acceptable decision, and your response
one week later being "nah we're just not going to use this anymore".
Honestly, how do you all decide not to report an issue as bad sounding
as "crashed"
(I'm assuming a DB error of some sort). I'm pretty sure if you reported this
when it happened it would most likely be resolved by now.

Above all, you have the right to decide that you don't want LQT, but to do
so saying that there's some bug and refusing to report it because "have no
interest in this bug getting fixed" is absolutely infuriating to me and
probably other developers.

(Note: I speak for myself and my own opinions)
