--- Comment #9 from Rich Farmbrough <[email protected]> 2011-06-19 12:22:20 UTC --- Reassure me that the time stamp is sufficiently granular that the revision ID is NEVER needed as a tie breaker, which is what I was referring to. Clearly, if page ID was the only method of determining order, things would be horribly broken, equally clearly they are not, so my assumption was that the time stamp was at least primarily used. This was all implicit in my statement "to determine where (if anywhere)" was the request above. Does the time stamp suffice everywhere? And of course determining this may not be trivial, since the source of the time stamp needs to be taken into account, even two machines running from the same local ntp service will generate a percentage of out-of-order timestamps, depending on the granularity. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
