tl;dr: All wikis are staying at 1.28.0-wmf.18 for now
Last week all wikis were rolled back to MediaWiki version 1.28.0-wmf.18 due to several problems that were spotted on Friday (2016-09-16)[0][1].
The problems with wmf.19 seemed resolved by Monday (2016-09-19). The plan was to roll wmf.19 out to all wikis yesterday afternoon and continue with the wmf.20 branch-cut today as scheduled.
Late yesterday a large performance regression was discovered in wmf.18[2].
We've paused the rollout of wmf.19 and the branching of wmf.20 to allow time to investigate the nature of this performance regression.
After there is a better understanding of the performance regression, we will reevaluate our plans for branching and rollout of wmf.19 and wmf.20.
