I'm sorry you misunderstood. I was trying to communicate that in my experience as a commercial Mediawiki developer, I think adding thanks to IPs would be days to a few weeks of work for a single developer. I was also trying to communicate that "a major can of worms" is not a professional assessment of task complexity. I have no idea whether Steven consulted with anyone about the magnitude of the task and I find it very difficult to believe that expressing a contrary opinion and asking for a quantification would imply anything about whether or not he did to anyone. _______________________________________________ EE mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/ee
