Some get marked with an OBSOLETE file. Some later get deleted, some don't. It really depends on who was caring at the time. We branch extensions (and have for some time) for a reason, and I think we should clear out things that have been marked as clearly obsolete for a long time. I'd be in favor of something like this: v 1.15 - Extension goes obsolete (w/e reason) and is marked v 1.16 - We allow it to sit, clearly labelled as obsolete v 1.17 - Drop the extension As long as we're clearly marking things and give people some wiggle room before dropping, I don't see why we shouldn't do some housekeeping. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
