First, a thank you for Daniel for writing such a balanced, informative email on a somewhat contentious subject!
As someone who will probably never touch a line of MW code, I'm not going to actually vote. But I do have experience in large, complex codebases and I'm going to argue for PRO. We need to acknowledge that our codebase is going to change over time and if we aren't explicit and accepting of this reality, we're not going to be able to manage it well. Consider future developers who may only ever know new syntax and their desire and ability to work on a codebase that doesn't reflect new techniques and syntax in its implementation. -Toby On Fri, Feb 12, 2016 at 9:44 AM, Purodha Blissenbach < [email protected]> wrote: > CON, for all the reasons mentioned. > > Purodha > > > > _______________________________________________ > Wikitech-l mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l > _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
