Like bug 26611, but for stuff around the 1.18 deployment.
For tarball bugs, see Bug 28425
Hi! On the http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.18 # MediaWiki_now_supports_women.21 you boast that MW will support women, but in fact this feature is broken, please look at bug27398 and consider to add this bug as blocker.

If you are talking about 1.18, it would be better to put this as a tarball blocker. I think it is best way to interpret that statement ("now supports women") is that there is *any* support for gender rather than saying the support doesn't have any issues. Is the support bug free? No. Is there some support where there was none before? Yes. Are there plans to improve this support? Yes So we've only begun to support women. It isn't like a switch that can be flipped on and off.
Adding tarball as blocking. Since it's deployed on WMF before release, it makes sense that fixes for deployment block the release. Moreover since whatever WMF setup does, other wikis might do as well.
