mediawiki-config size and Logos

I 've had a quick look into mediawiki-config and it's size. So, I see the following


61MB, 50 of which are images, 47 of which are project logos. Is there a reason we ship project logos as configuration?

And most importantly to stay on track, how are we going to ship all those logos in the brave new k8s world?


du -h --exclude=.git | sort -rh |head -30

61M .

50M ./static/images

50M ./static

47M ./static/images/project-logos

We ship them as config because they're non-variant on flavour of MediaWiki, we want them to be statically mapped, and we want to be able to change them swiftly. I think moving them into the containers (so new logos take a few hours / days to roll out) is probably acceptable, but it's a fair regression in flexibility of config.
