Hi all,
I'd like to remind everyone involved in development that requires db schema migrations - please keep in mind the three related guidelines in our official deployment policies - http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Development_policy#Database_patches - especially the third, which is to make schema changes optional.
Once a migration has been reviewed, please update http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Schema_changes with all pertinent details, then get in touch for deployment scheduling. There are good and legitimate reasons to not follow the "make schema changes optional" policy but if that's the case, please provide 3-7 days of lead time, depending on the size of tables and number of effected wikis.
Best, Asher
