For those who use old query.php API interface:
Per
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12881 , query.php has
been fully ported to the api.php, and thus no longer needed. Unless
there are significant reasons to keep it around, it will be removed both
from the extensions and from the mediawiki sites fairly soon.
Isn't backwards compatibility enough of a reason? Surely it's a lot easier
to keep it around than to rewrite everything that uses it.
