Thread:Project talk:WikiProject Extensions/template - extension code in wiki/reply (4)

Any reason for not removing the one line saying The developer is encouraged and invited to get commit access to MediaWiki's code repository to address this. from extension code in wiki now, or even two weeks ago (when the original request to stop checking new extensions into Subversion was made)?

Changing this now (to remove SVN) does not preclude updating it again once 'git' is fully operational. It's just one line in one template.

Also, why the sudden huge concern that an extension might have code on wiki while there is seemingly no concern about extensions where the code is hosted off-site somewhere. The latter should be the greater problem as we have no means to recover if the externally-hosted site goes away entirely (something which happens routinely, if authors are pointing these to their personal sites)?
