Has anyone ever regenerated their LocalSettings.php using the
installer for a reason other than testing that feature?
I am thinking about removing it. It adds a fair amount of code and
complexity.
To clarify, I have in my sights two separate features: unconfigured
upgrade, in which upgrade is done with no LocalSettings.php if tables
are detected in the database, and LocalSettings.php regeneration,
which optionally happens after that.
My idea is to have the DBConnect page simply fail validation if tables
exist. The charset and engine detection code in
MysqlInstaller::preUpgrade() could then be removed, along with a few
other smaller chunks of code.
Unconfigured upgrade is a rare operation which is unlikely to be
helpful for users.
