I actually feel the opposite. Point #1 does not make core development much harder. There's the occasional issue with local customization, but in my experience these types of issues are few and far between. Point #2 does scare me a little bit, particularly on the non enwikipedia sites. I agree with Chad that anecdotes in this area probably have more to do with no one looking, than any actual greater security. --Bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
