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.
