I would like to add a heads up:
This change deprecates some heavily used core functions and hooks, like
Revision::getText() and the ArticleSaveComplete hook. They are replaced with
equivalent functions that use Content objects instead of text. This means that a
lot of extensions will generate warnings and thus fail tests as soon as this is
in core. Once it is merged, we can start fixing these problems.
