* Blocked by:
** This is a followup on a SoS update from a few weeks back. We would like
Parsoid clients ( VisualEditor, ContentTranslation, StructuredDiscussion,
MCS/PCS ) to act
onhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T266143 sooner than
later. This should likely be a minor tweak in client code. We need
confirmation that clients can handle this switch before we can make
progress on making that change in Parsoid. Either leave a note on that phab
task once you are done, or create a subtask and resolve it.
