Hi I'm just wondering what the policy is with regards to changes to extension code in the svn in the case where the modification is compatible only with recent versions. Shouldn't extensions be designed to be as backward compatible as is practical rather than focussing exclusively on supporting the current release?
Extensions are not required to be backwards compatible. It's nice if they are, but they don't have to. Extensions are branched off along with the major releases of MediaWiki, and versions on the branches should be compatible with the respective version of mediawiki.
