The deployment branch, originally envisioned on the lists by myself, is
intended to provide users of mediawiki with access to the latest stable
revision - the one being used on Wikipedia, but not trunk. Unfortunately the
deployment branch has been subverted and is now full of WMF specific hacks.
Can we please have a the WMF deployment branch be a branch of an untainted
branch of the particular revision that is considered stable?
Many thanks!
