--- Comment #5 from Steven Walling <swall...@wikimedia.org> ---
I think this is potentially a win-win situation for MediaWiki as a FOSS project
and Wikimedia wikis.

For Wikimedia, even small changes might help give them a more unique look that
doesn't confuse Wikipedia, Wiktionary, et al. with every third part wiki. For
MediaWiki, this is another opportunity to show that it really is a standalone
FOSS project that can and should be able to function without always being
specific to Wikimedia's use cases and design. 

It's hard to underestimate how little knowledge there is out there about the
differences between MediaWiki, Wikipedia, and other wikis. Pretty much all the
time, I have people unfamiliar with the projects ask me if all things with the
name wiki in it are owned "by Wikipedia". The list of ways to be confused goes
on and on.
