I don't know what the stats are, but my intuition is that it's not generally that high. However, the ones we find are kinda big, so it still makes me nervous to go that route. I've edited the page, called Greg's proposal "Alternative A", and added "Alternative B" which provides a little bit of time for catching issues on mw.org: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/One_week Rob _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
