Although I broadly agree with the rest of your message, I disagree with the Parser bit on the end - basically, the parser rewrite had to pass muster with someone at Brion or Tim level, as there's not really anyone else who would be able to say "these bits of syntax are out" and have it stick; and since I suspect Tim would rather spork his eyes out than read the words "parser rewrite" ever again, getting Brion in to work on it was the only way to make it go forward. Developer effort is not fungible in the face of politics :-) - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
