Alright, let's find a compromise: we will make sure that any Architecture
task fitting in Bugzilla will have a Bugzilla report. We will continue
using Phabricator for all the rest. Let's talk again when we have a
Phabricator instance in production (in a few weeks, according to plans).
For instance,"Schedule wednesday rfc meeting for european team next week
Aug 13"
could be closed as a perfectly INVALID
report in Bugzilla, yet it has a function in our little project in
Phabricator. If Labs goes down, we will manage.
PS: It is a fact that we have "real work" projects in
today, and thanks to this we are learning and testing a lot. It would have
been crazy to go from "Test Foo Blah" tasks to Phabricator Day 1 without
this phase of experimentation and compromises in between.

It's unfortunate that it's being used for prod
data. I never intended that
when it was set up.
So yeah +1 to waiting until we have a real prod service.

Collateral summary: a transition to Phabricator
has started, and this
project is just taking advantage of it.

Can we please not use Phabricator until it's
an actual production
service? We still don't have IRC notifications, mailing lists,
documentation, etc. Most people don't even look at it because, well,
it's a test instance, not an actual thing people should be using.
Phabricator is supposed to become an actual production service within a
few
weeks. We are using it here for tracking tasks
more than tracking bugs,
and
the workboard is a useful interface to see at a
glance which RfCs are
ready
to be reviewed.
Lack of IRC notifications is not a dealbreaker in this project, since we
didn't have it either in the purely MediaWiki-base process we had before.
Mailing lists... will be used in the same way. Documentation... what do
you
need? Please check and ask at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help
Most people probably don't need to look at this project. For the
architects
and the few other people that have to follow it,
I'm sure that
notifications will work just fine.
I'm also reminded of Mark's comments in [1]: If a URL has
"wmflabs.org"
in it...don't put anything, ANYTHING,
important there.
For what is worth, some projects are posting important information in
this
Phabricator instance, and its content is being
backed up periodically.
