Although it means we'll never be able to use 2.0 because "2.0" from "1.x" has total rewrite implications even if it's not true. I've been saying for over a year now we should just drop the 1. from the 1.x.y release versions. So the next release would be 25.0, 26.0, etc etc. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
