There aren't two different policies. When enabling
a new extension,
the latest version from SVN is installed (provided it has passed
review), and extensions are updated together with the core MediaWiki
code. Once upon a time, we had sort-of-weekly code updates, but right
now Wikipedia is running code dated March 25th.
We're planning to hire a full-time QA engineer in 09-10 to help with
code review, bug triaging and deployment - that should help get us
back to a more reasonable schedule.
