My argument exactly.
Every couple weeks I do
$ svn diff -r BASE:HEAD RELEASE-NOTES
and if all looks safe, I then do
$ svn update
You aren't running trunk in production, right? Right?
And what's wrong with that?
One of the nice things about the MediaWiki development process is that
our trunk generally *is* usable. Sure, every one in a while someone
fails to test their code properly before committing and breaks
something, but generally you can just report the regression on
#mediawiki and it'll get fixed or reverted promptly.
Anyway, we really should encourage more people to run trunk. It's the
only efficient way to catch bugs before we put out a tarball.
