Hello everyone,
Recently, a security issue has been found with Education extension. As a result, new requests for installing the extension on Wikimedia wikis are being "stalled", i.e. blocked for an indeterminate period. Can someone from the Foundation comment on this? I don't see why we shouldn't install the extension to more wikis, if the current installations are still working as-is (i.e. they're not being uninstalled because of the security issue, as far as I know).
While it might be a long shot, is it possible to influence this decision somehow?
I feel thoroughly disappointed, having held community discussion and vote, and then waiting for a month (!) for no apparent reason, just to be outright told that it's unlikely to happen anytime soon. [1]
