includes/specials/pre-authmanager/README

   1 This directory temporarily hosts pre-AuthManager code as a way of feature-flagging.
   2 Class names are postfixed with 'PreAuthManager' and SpecialPageFactory adds/removes
   3 that postfix based on the feature flag.

   5 This is a horrible hack that will only be in place for a few weeks, to allow instant
   6 rollback while AuthManager is tested in WMF production and major problems are ironed
   7 out. In the past such issues have been handled via deployment branches, but that
   8 meant blocking the work of all WMF developers from being deployed. This is hoped
   9 to be a less disruptive method.
