We don't have 1.20 branched extensions

And that is a reason to reject this defect as invalid? Not having 1.20 branched extensions is a good enough reason to tell users that they can't have extensions for 1.20? You are kidding, surely.

If the trunk version of all extensions was stable and worked with 1.20 that would be just about ok but that is not true. The trunk version of at least one extension used by Wikipedia does not work with 1.20.

Bluntly, this is not customer focussed. This is a "we can't be bothered" answer. Please think again.

The trunk version of at least one
extension used by Wikipedia does not work with 1.20.

Which one is that?
