Is there a status update about more regular code

Hmm, I guess not. Perhaps we'll soon see a return to the "before
Wikimania"
meme (shortly followed by the "after the fundraiser" meme).
We updated the MediaWiki roadmap in Berlin:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_roadmap
The tl;dr version:
* 1.17 - May (we still might make it...we're very, very close)
* 1.18 - July, with tarball release in August
* 1.19 - October, with tarball release in November
* 1.20 - January 2012, with tarball release in February
That's a very rough outline, and I put confidence numbers in there
(e.g. 30% for 1.18) to emphasize that these are pretty rough
projections.
As stated above: 1.17 is very, very close to being complete, and the
1.18 review queue is starting to look much better. Compare:
1.18:
http://toolserver.org/~robla/crstats/crstats.118all.html
1.17:
http://toolserver.org/~robla/crstats/crstats.117all.html
As you can see, there's still a lot of review to do for a 1.18
release, but it's not as out of control as 1.17 was. A 1.18
deployment in July is plausible, though comparing the graphs and
mapping them to our actual 1.17 deployment, we're probably looking at
August.
