Hey,
To make things worse, I noticed on my development environment that our
own scap-equivalent will just go on to run composer update even if the file conflicted. This causes it to remove the extensions and libraries we currently install via composer, also breaking the site.
I hope for the sake of all-non WMF users that already use Composer to install extensions that the proposed changes are not making things worse (well it doesn't seem so).
I would also like to express my disappointment at third party users being thrown under the bus once again. Several people have been putting a lot of effort into supporting third party users, so it really saddens me that this is dismissed as an irrelevance by some so easily.
Cheers
