--- Comment #8 from Olivier Finlay Beaton <[email protected]> 2011-09-22 22:15:09 UTC --- I've started http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extension_support with the aim of eventually having a document to help extension authors be backwards compatible. I'm still not sure where it fits in generally from the Manual, currently nothing links to it. I'd appreciate help in fleshing the page out and in figuring out where it fits in. It attempts to lay out some reasons why backwards compatability may matter from an extension point of view, and should go a long way to help extension authors actually do it. I'm hoping that it could also become a "how do I get compliant with this new version" or at least that such an effort will also be started, as what is new is eventually old. I do think some kind of not-too-all-or-nothing statement about why trying too hard for backwards compat is also horrible.
