- bawolff 3y agoTBH, I don't really see what the new settings stuff offers over the status quo. It feels like a complex abstraction layer to do what everyone was already doing already.
- Nemo_bis 3y agoI'm not sure either. :D But having some explicit support directly in core hopefully means that we recognise wikifarm support as an essential feature and that over time there will be more collaboration to share good methods to run wikifarms. Multisite Wordpress also took a while to become good, IIRC.
