Re: Protection expiry

Hi Strainu,

This touches on an issue with the internal representation of "protection 
changed" event. I filed a ticket for fixing it 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T406751>. Thanks to Tgr for bringing it to my 
attention.

Having a MediaWiki domain event fire when protection expires wouldn't directly 
solve your problem, but it would make it possible to eventually include it in a 
public event stream of some sort.

Cheers,
daniel
