Dear Wikitech-l REL1_24 was branched and announced ahead of schedule[0].
Our schedule[1] clearly states that we will announce a branch one week before we make one in order to allow developers to put any necessary work into the branch and keep backports to a minimum. The current release is planned for 2014-11-26[2]. According to our schedule, the actual REL1_24 branch should be made on 2014-10-22. Please excuse the error and do not deprecate anything while we make the necessary corrections. Unless there is a good reason to keep the branch, we will revert the current REL1_24 branch on Monday evening. Finally, while we are very happy to have help with the release work, we do ask that you coordinate with us to ensure a controlled process free of disruption.
