Indeed. Please don't read into me speaking with Brion. It was just idle chit-chat over lunch which ended with me saying something about bringing it up on-list.
Chad, Brion,
I appologize for making it sound like you speak for the Foundation's direction when it comes to MediaWiki. You don't and I understand that.
You both have important voices that have a strong influence on the direction of the conversation, though, which is why I responded the way I did.
More than anything, I would like some real data from non-WMF users of MW. Wikitech-l isn't the right place to get that data, so I want to avoid giving the idea that the decision to drop support for shared hosting has been made.
I think I've accomplished that, so I'll stand down now while I look for a way to get the data I want.
