Is there a reason that the tests/ subdirectory (which

My team recently implemented unit-testing using the phpunit
infrastructure that came with 1.18/1.19. I was told by various people
on IRC that there would be support for phpunit with Mediawiki far
into the future...is this a correct statement?
Your developer should be using git. The tarball release isn't meant for
people developing on MediaWiki.
And, really, if you use git, your developers will have a chance to
ensure that their changes will work in the next version of MediaWiki
that you deploy before it is released.
If it is really necessary for the tests to be included, then please fill
