Couldn't we use that special use case more largely to allow admins without
PR to upgrade the UI through the DW ?
Only the UI of course, not the extensions, this would be probably too risky.
WDYT ?

on
myxwiki.org which I had upgraded using a local users and where I saw
that all features that were requiring PR were broken. Now
myxwiki.org is
on 5.2 so this was the DW of 5.2. Maybe we fixed/changed something after
that.

myxwiki.org but if we think this issue shouldn't exist we might want to
upgrade sooner.
