In particular, we agreed: * We still won't require curl, keeping existing non-curl codepath * We'll add a non-parallel MultiHttpClient fallback * Special:Version will let users know if the wiki is running without curl Now we'd like to open this up for last call, and review any objections discussed over the course of the week at [next week's ArchCom Planning meeting][3]. Any objection to this plan? Rob [1]: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/E224 [2]: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137926 [3]: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/E225
