That it will not work: while HHVM tries to maintain a 100%, we had to fix
various issues in MW to make the transition happen. How serious will be the
problems with 1.23 is hard to tell, but I expect at least some.

Some PHP extensions aren't implemented in HHVM, or their implementation is
subpar. What of this applies to you? Only trying it will answer this, I'm
