Hi,
While working on fixing gadgets etc. I just noticed mediawiki.org itself was not part of the first wave (I confused it with metawiki I guess).
Is there any issues with switching to 1.17wmf1 before the rest goes (say tonight or Monday) ? Currently I'm writing some documentation but the 'new' versions of things don't actually work on mw.org so it's hard demonstrating it, since it won't work on mediawiki.org
I could move things to Meta-Wiki and back again, but since mw.org is a relatively small wiki I think there wouldn't be any load issues (is that still an issue?) in switching it before the 'final wave'.
The reason I'm writing these things now instead of Wednessday is because A) Some wikis are already switched and they're screaming about broken gadgets which need updating. Since these gadgets are usually copied from MW.org fixing them there now results in them being broken on MW.org B) I like to get things ready before the actual switch is made so that when the switch is made, people can update things right away.

I'm +1 on this, but other people should weigh in first, I think.

I, for one, would welcome our new upgraded overlords!

Your wish is my (well...Roan's) command!
New code review features are live :)

As I recall, it wasn't part of the first set of guinea pigs in case something went horribly wrong and broke the site. Because mediawiki.org has the code review tools, having mediawiki.org down when people are trying to fix deployment problems would itself be a major problem. (It's turtles all the way down.)

This is exactly why I said we should not use mw.org as one of our initial guinea pigs, yes. However, since 1.17 doesn't seem to have a catastrophic impact on the other dozen or so wikis it's running on, including meta, I think we can go ahead and switch it over now. If CodeReview breaks, we can just switch it back.
