Cool! Thanks for developing this beta feature, it makes it easy to test.
Is there anything in particular that you might expect to behave
differently, or break, that you'd like us to test? Are you just looking for
more general feedback?
I am an outsider to the process, but maybe I can give some examples.
In theory "everything should work" -in reality these are some of the
issues:
* Configuration and the environment may not be 100% equal -lots of
backend changes-, leading to different results e.g.
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214660>
* Edge cases may be fixed automagically, or break with the new setup
e.g. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214984>
* Performance may be different, while I've been told in general things
are looking faster, there could be also regressions
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T176370#4789096>
* Continuous integration and testing may need double checking and
fixing <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T211470>
* ...
In general they are the same issues that would arise from migrating
from a major upgrade (e.g. PHP 5 to PHP 7). Your bug reports and the
kind comments here, and on places such as
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Usx7uerq380mzwq3 I believe are
highly motivational for the many teams involved, thanks! Also many
thanks for all the people, developers, testers and people in
infrastructure for making this possible!
