* LINK: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137926 (robla, 21:04:00)
* list of 3 options listed at
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137926#2412996 (robla, 21:05:07)
* question discussed for the first 10-15 minutes: is having a fallback
worthwhile at all? (robla, 21:13:22)
* James_F clarifies this RFC is about requiring MultiHttpClient,
rather than curl specifically (robla, 21:22:41)
* <James_F> robla: Well, no. The impending requirements are for
MultiHttpClient which we're standardising on. The curl requirement
for that requirement is what we're discussing, I think. (robla,
21:23:43)
* James_F finds "Example of expected heavy MultiHttpClient use in
core": T111588 (robla, 21:30:20)
* <brion> so recommend: keep existing non-curl path; add non-parallel
MultiHttpClient fallback, and provide environmental warnings about
missing curl on Special:Version ? (robla, 21:41:11)
* <bawolff> Can we put the env warnings on both Special:Version and
installer (brion, 21:42:38)
* <TimStarling> maybe it is time to revisit the idea of a pingback
from the installer for statistical purposes (robla, 21:43:46)
* "keep existing non-curl path; add non-parallel MultiHttpClient
fallback, and provide environmental warnings about missing curl on
Special:Version " goes to last call (robla, 21:46:43)
* brion wants to make sure we have a plan for an installer beacon
(robla, 21:50:42)
* ACTION: brion, robla discuss beacon at E225 (robla, 21:54:02)
