What's this about "taking your site down for maintenance"? I don't think Wikimedia wikis have needed to go into read-only mode or go offline(!) for an upgrade since like MediaWiki 1.5 or something. I skimmed https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.19 and didn't see any crazy database schema changes or anything. Am I missing something?
Not that I can see, there's no major schema changes this go round so I can't see any reason we'd need to go offline/readonly.
