Thread:Manual talk:Skin autodiscovery/Backport of MonoBook and Vector to 1.23/reply (3)

I doubt the release team will support backporting the refactoring of skin system from 1.23 to 1.24.; but if you strongly feel that the deprecation messages themselves are more harm than good, then you might want to file task about it on Phabricator (be sure to add the #Wiki-Release-Team project) – MW 1.23 is a long-term support release, so it might be worth it. Personally I still think the messages are useful, but I won't argue about it. :)
