Yea, still something we need to figure out :)
That was, if I remember correctly, one of the arguments for using readable strings there, instead of int values and a config variable, as I originally proposed. This was discussed at the last Berlin hackathon, must have been 2012. Tim may remember more details. We should probably re-consider the pros and cons we discussed back then when planning to change the scham now.
But that was already re-reviewed and discussed and approved by Tim himself (among others) on 2015: https://tools.wmflabs.org/meetbot/wikimedia-office/2015/wikimedia-office.2015-07-29-20.59.html.
Yes, I saw that. And I'm happy about it! But the aspect of maintainance and tooling seems to be completely absent from the discussion and proposal. From a DB perspective, looks fine. I just feel it is missing a few crucial bits. Like, how does anything ever get into these tables?
