This is a tracking bug for several other issues.
Paraphrasing Faidon: "I'd like us to get rid of ms7 and consequently MediaWiki's dependency on a shared filesystem (here: NFS). The last actions remaining for this are¹:
- Replacement of ExtensionDistributor (bug 37946)
- ConfirmEdit/Captcha (bug 43493)
- docroot (index, favicon, robots, pybaltestfile) -- I'm on it, needs mostly Swift & Squid/Varnish changes. Nothing from the platform team as far as I can see
- Other things that we may be forgetting. We'll do a final review, please do too.
