Hi all! At the ArchCom office hour (aka RFC IRC meeting) on December 14, we discussed Legoktm's proposal for a deprecation policy for PHP code [1]. This would supersede the current guideline [2], allowing deprecated code to be removed after a couple of releases, even if it may still used by some extensions. At the IRC meeting, we decided to approve this policy for a final call [3][4]. This means that it will be adopted as official policy if no new pertinent issues are raised within a week. Cheers, Daniel [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Deprecation_policy [2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Deprecation [3] https://tools.wmflabs.org/meetbot/wikimedia-office/2016/wikimedia-office.20… [4] https://tools.wmflabs.org/meetbot/wikimedia-office/2016/wikimedia-office.20… -- Daniel Kinzler Senior Software Developer Wikimedia Deutschland Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.V.
