Shiny! Ori and Tim have done a lot of work on MediaWiki core + extensions plus bug fixes and feature enhancements for HHVM itself with upstream to get us to the point this can happen. Faidon also put in a huge effort on Debian packaging for HHVM to make installing the interpreter as easy as `apt-get instal hhvm`. I'm sure there will be a few hiccups with this switch. I hope you will join me in helping resolve problems by filing good bug reports and submitting patches for problems you can figure out to keep this effort moving forward.
