Maybe we could have an "API version" which corresponds to the rules given there, like the API version in PHP. Our major versions (1.18 etc.) correspond to branches, and so we sometimes have to introduce non-backwards-compatible changes in minor releases in order to fix security vulnerabilities. If we only applied such security changes to new major releases, applying them would be tied to performing a major and potentially complex upgrade, which would slow down the mitigation process significantly. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
