Over time The Train™ has become the default way to deploy changes to
Wikimedia's MediaWiki cluster -- for some patches that may not always be
the right path. If a developer needs a change deployed *now*, or if
there is a desire to deploy a change in isolation then backports might
be a better path.
As with all things, some exceptions may apply. The Release Engineering
team has created some guidelines[0] that will hopefully help explain
when something MUST, SHOULD, or MAY[1] be deployed via the train or via
backport.
Is this suppose to codify existing practice, or suggest/recommend people
should be deploying things more frequently outside of the normal train?
Tgr has raised roughly the same question on the talk page:
