WordPress skins are the same... actually, they're worse... in WordPress the skins are horridly intermingled with globals and intermingle scope so badly if you tried to load two for any purpose they could potentially clash... (though, I would love a high-level template system... that would make my own work much nicer if all sorts of CMS systems offered that) Core patches can be re-patched most of the time. If you're not going to at least make your patches merely hooks then I don't believe it's random extension's job to support versions of MW that are no longer supported and no longer receiving security backports (1.14 is vulnerable to a number of XSS and CSRF vectors that were backported to 1.15).
