Cool! Thanks for developing this beta feature, it makes it easy to test.
Is there anything in particular that you might expect to behave differently, or break, that you'd like us to test? Are you just looking for more general feedback?
I am an outsider to the process, but maybe I can give some examples. In theory "everything should work" -in reality these are some of the issues:
* Configuration and the environment may not be 100% equal -lots of backend changes-, leading to different results e.g. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214660 * Edge cases may be fixed automagically, or break with the new setup e.g. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214984 * Performance may be different, while I've been told in general things are looking faster, there could be also regressions https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T176370#4789096 * Continuous integration and testing may need double checking and fixing https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T211470 * ...
In general they are the same issues that would arise from migrating from a major upgrade (e.g. PHP 5 to PHP 7). Your bug reports and the kind comments here, and on places such as https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Usx7uerq380mzwq3 I believe are highly motivational for the many teams involved, thanks! Also many thanks for all the people, developers, testers and people in infrastructure for making this possible!
