Wordpress really needs to move to git/github/gitlab. The fact that in 2016 all of the plugins are part of a massive single svn repository is insane.
They would probably see a 10x improvement on contributions by moving to github/gitlab almost overnight, potentially fixing these stupid issues.
As mgkimsal said, they should also take a hard stance and require PHP 7 for version 5.0. The speed improvements alone would be worth it.
- Eric_WVGG 11y agoI’d like to see them handle it similarly to the jQuery 1.x -> 2 fork (feature freeze + bug fixes in perpetuity for the former, all new development and bumped requirements in the latter).
- jlgaddis 11y agoPeople say the same thing about OpenBSD (WRT CVS) but, if it works just fine for them, who's to say what they should (or "need") to use.
- mgkimsal 11y ago"who's to say what they should use" Those of us who have to clean up after it, and those of us who've had to deal with spam and malware-infested wordpress sites interfering with our business. Much like google/gmail, windows, and other large monopoly-like players, wordpress is a huge impact on a lot of businesses; whether those businesses are using wordpress or not, we still feel the impact (and yes, I am using it for a couple projects as well - chmod 400 on pretty much the whole site unless I'm doing updates).
