I agree one billion percent with everything you've said here, and it's the *exact* point I've been trying to make all along. I have no qualms with people trying to fix this--it's something that needs to be fixed and has been on my todo list for far longer than it should've been. But if it's going to be fixed/rewritten, time should be taken so it is done properly. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
