Re: [Wikitech-l] Do no harm

Change some more.  Eventually, most of the old ones will be gone. By inspection, many of the uses will be terminal, not passed to other routines, with no side effects.  Those should be done first. Sure, it might take a month or three.  But wishing for some universal regression suite is going to be about the same as waiting for the single pass parser. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
