I noticed that Mediawiki 1.6.7. has some issues with current content with Infoboxes and Cite.php references when citing books and websites. I also read that 1.7 is what's running on Wikipedia. Is there a good reason why XML dumps are kept broken and Wikipedia is always using unreleased versions as opposed to the other way around. Most folks run production websites on a stable release and leave the experimental releases for developers -- here this is reversed.
MediaWiki is our in-house software for running Wikipedia.
We also periodically make snapshot releases for the convenience of third-party users.
Brad asked we take this discussion off line, so lets do so.
