--- Comment #14 from Tisza Gergő <gti...@wikimedia.org> --- (In reply to Nemo from comment #12) > I'm sorry but you clearly didn't even read what you're commenting: just look > at bug 54197 comment 0; and you mention LiquidThreads as example, well > LiquidThreads deploys have been frozen (wontfix'ed) for years. bug 54197 means that archiving does not work reliably; that is a non-issue if you don't mind archiving being disabled in the first place. LiquidThreads is wontfixed because it is being superseded by Flow; also, unlike AFT, it does modify core features (specifically how talk page content is stored), so having to convert a wiki from LQT to Flow (or even just backing out of LQT) is a significant maintenance burden. Backing out of AFT is just a trivial config change. (In reply to Bawolff (Brian Wolff) from comment #13) > Bugs (or at least important ones) in most legacy extensions without > developers assigned to them tend to get fixed by platform team or interested > random volunteers in my experience. I don't think its fair to compare AFT's > status to your average not actively developed extensions (Except maybe LQT, > its status is probably similar to that) The video extensions for example have not been actively developed for a while (by the WMF, anyway), and I would guess they are more complex than AFT, but I'm sure no one thinks that a good reason to disable them. The way I see it, worst case there will be serious bugs and no one will fix them, in which case the extension can still be turned off at that point; given that it uses a separate table, it's unlikely that any problem it causes would persist after that. Best case, there is no such bug and a bunch of wikis get a useful tool they wanted, for free. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
