* As a part of the MediaWiki rollout the Typography Refresh beta feature
  will move from VectorBeta extension/Beta Feature to the Vector skin in
  MediaWiki core. This effectively updates the default skin for all

** This will roll out with the 1.23wmf20 branch mentioned above, which
   means it will gradually roll out to all wikis following the normal
   progression (testwikis & mediawiki.org on Thursday -> non-wikipedias
   (eg Commons etc) on Tuesday -> All wikis following Thursday).


Thanks, and as always, questions welcome,

Greg
