It's still busy make-work, like much updating of wiki pages to reflect code
changes :-/ We want, not just for event logging, but for feature flags and
for any config setting:
* Give me the MediaWiki/WMF state right now.
* Give me a change history.
* Tell me the owner.
Humans can figure it out with git, but this human can't figure out how to
automate :) Maybe Legoktm's config database RFC [1] will help.
Sam, thanks for updating.
