As opposed to returning a single class which can handle errors, warnings and OK statuses just fine? I really don't know why people don't like the Status class, I'm trying to use it *more* in the new-installer, rather than returning weird mixtures of booleans, strings and exceptions. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
