This is not disrespecting development, which is
extremely important by any
measure. But we're running a top-10 worldwide website, a key worldwide
information resource for humanity as a whole. We cannot cripple
development to try and maximize stability, but stability has to be priority
1. Any large website's teams will have the same attitude.
Please do not forget the contributors who want to improve MediaWiki
for their own needs. We also have to balance how much we inconvenience
them to meet the requirements of WMF. In my opinion, the balance is
already in favor of WMF.
