Thread:Talk:New skins system/"MediaWiki tarball skin review"/reply (3)

The problem with killing off the older skins is that people well respond by tying formatting and templates far more tightly into whatever the current skin is. By supporting older skins you maintain an advocacy group (thats been around long enough to have some influence) for keeping such things at least vaguely skin independent.Geni (talk) 04:47, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
