Re: [Wikitech-l] Question related to status of one extension

Re: [Wikitech-l] Making breaking changes without deprecation?

Hmm, maybe we're talking past one another here? I'm assuming a developer of an extension who is interested in testing a new release - if we have a version that has things deprecated vs completely removed, that allows a quick check to see if the deprecated code affects them without going back into t
