    Hi,

    Mediawiki ships with .htaccess files which contain outdated access
    control directives.

    for instance, /usr/share/mediawiki/vendor/.htaccess contains:

    Deny from all

    rather than the more current

    Require all denied


    The new syntax was introduced in Apache 2.4, shipping since at least
    Jessie, April 2015.

    Wouldn't it be time to go with the new syntax, as less and less people
    now continue to use the access_compat module?

    Thanks,

    Alain
