Hello all, I'd just like to note that I'm really not happy with this:

Combined with a lack of automated testing, making large -or even small- changes in framework code is dangerous, to say the least. Especially since the code *will* be used throughout wikipedia, possibly causing botwars and an enormous mess. As such, I would like to suggest - *strongly* suggest - not to implement new features into trunk any more. The much cleaner rewrite should be the place to put these features. This means only bugfixes and family/language updates should go into trunk. Comments welcome.
