I consider it rather bad style to launch personal attacks in what should be a technical discussion. In particular when your own arguments basically amounted to a statement that having to execute some git command would be "a pain in the ass". It was to be expected, that there would be some snags. Crying "I told you so" is somewhat less than constructive. I am sure Bartosz is already working on it.
And James, what is your problem? Try running a current MW with the LocalSettings.php from - I don't know - MW 1.16 or something. You expect that to work? Really?
Maybe everybody could cool down a bit and keep thing on a non-personal level? I'd appreciate it.

Exactly what I warned about. Yet another example of poor thinking/execution and exactly what I predicted.

Hi,
I just went on to `git pull --rebase origin master` on getting MW 1.24 master and suddenly I see a "Whoops! The default skin for your wiki ($wgDefaultSkin), vector, is not available."
I have to say that I'm not really interested in modifying the LocalSettings.php just to get a MW working as it used to be.
I do expect when downloading MW it is at least functional and not comes with a message of "Whoops!" your missing something.
The other funny thing, is the message which says: "You can paste the following lines into LocalSettings.php to enable all currently installed skins:" ( empty )
So I should paste an empty message to `LocalSettings.php`, what the hell!!
If you at least provide a composer download for the standard skins, I could go on and do `composer mediawiki/vector-skin` without having the remember the location of some gerrit repo, doing some cryptic git submodule stuff or care about "mediawiki/skins/*" at all.
Cheers

This has just happened.
The instructions MediaWiki will display should guide you through. Poke me on IRC if the email I send earlier and the instructions don't help :)
