Based on the feedback, it seems obvious that we will have to go with the previous RC for the release.
Legoktm: You're right when you ask "where is the bug for this?" The feedback and interaction happened mostly on Twitter and Skype. I should have asked Jamie to file a bug.

Despite this, I think we should stick to the `composer.json` and for users that already have a `composer.json` in place make sure that they migrate the content so that they don't loose any package by simply replacing the file.
In order to avoid causing too much confusion for those users who have already used composer to install the latest Semantic MediaWiki, we'll have to put an obvious notice in the announcement.
In future, if changes are required to the `composer.json`, please merge instead of a simple replace and keep the user free from pain.
Are you willing to help modify the installer to help with this?
Mark.
