There are cases where you still want mw-config even without upgrading. For example changing wgCategoryCollation or installing an extension with schema changes. -bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
