I am an outsider to the process, but maybe I can give some examples. In theory "everything should work" -in reality these are some of the issues: * Configuration and the environment may not be 100% equal -lots of backend changes-, leading to different results e.g. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214660> * Edge cases may be fixed automagically, or break with the new setup e.g. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214984> * Performance may be different, while I've been told in general things are looking faster, there could be also regressions <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T176370#4789096> * Continuous integration and testing may need double checking and fixing <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T211470> * ... In general they are the same issues that would arise from migrating from a major upgrade (e.g. PHP 5 to PHP 7). Your bug reports and the kind comments here, and on places such as https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Usx7uerq380mzwq3 I believe are highly motivational for the many teams involved, thanks! Also many thanks for all the people, developers, testers and people in infrastructure for making this possible! _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
