Knowing when things change is important -- you want to know that things changed *on purpose* not *by accident*. And yes, that means that baseline shifts can be painful as we have to go through and see if any of the changes were regressions, but that's the price of knowing what's going on. ;) -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
