I'm changing the minimum required version to PHP 5.5; see T13492 for 5.5-specific followup.

This is likely fixed, at least for the moment, by D21004.

I don't have a Freelancer CLA on file. (This is near the top of my queue of things to fix anyway so it's probably moot.)

Obsoleted by D20938 + D21001, which force Python 3 usage.

I incorporated these changes into D21001. Thanks!

Specifically, all of the removed rules point at controllers which no longer exist. Most of these were Preview or Edit controllers which are now handled by EditEngine or some other piece of centralized infrastructure.

Obsoleted by a cleaner fix in D21000.

I have another patch on top of D20998 which brings unit over, but it's currently so broken that it can't diff itself.

My theory at one point was that the lowest position is more visible (i.e., easier to locate visually -- since you know it's at the bottom, and the bottom of the curtain is visually distinct) than positions in the middle of the curtain (which don't have a well-known position), even if they're higher on screen. So that's why "Assigned/Authored" are currently at the bottom. However, feedback doesn't necessarily seem to align well with this theory (several other users have also suggested that they'd prefer this UI use "higher = more important" ordering).

• Make "--clean" work.
• Make creation flow minimally work.

• Simplify some init-sequence wrangling and explicitly require PHP 5.5.0.
