Andre Klapper <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Andre Klapper <[email protected]> 2012-11-04 21:57:19 UTC --- The last comment is a general "Do we allow unsupported browsers to use VE" question. It's not specific to supporting Firefox ESR versions. To put this into context: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Engineering/2012-13_Goals#Visual_Editor states: "Q2 (October-December 2012): First English Wikipedia deployments and iteration (New Page creation is not an ideal candidate here because of required support for things like a VE citations to ensure page survivability)". VE deployment is planned for up to the end of June 2013. http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportClients.htm shows a 0.52% rate for Firefox 10.0 (which will likely decrease in the future). According to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Enterprise/Firefox/ExtendedSupport:Proposal#Proposal the end of life for Firefox 10.0.x is planned for February 12, 2013. That's 13 weeks from now. Though there are enough internet users who run unsupported vulnerable old software versions I'd say it's arguable if it makes sense to allow FF 10.0.x as it will be rather dead soon anyway. For the time being, feedback from testing VE on FF 10.0.x would be useless and not interesting for VE developers. If VE in 10.0.x turns out buggy, Wikimedia would get blamed for a non-functional VisualEditor and would receive feedback to "fix it please!", instead of the browser vendor for its old version. So at the current state I don't consider adding &vewhitelist helpful for anybody. Proposing WONTFIX again.
