Sidenote, it's wiki software, not a CMS.  See
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Security_issues_with_authorization_extensions .

I agree with Quim.  Having WMF-specific overrides on things like color, logos,
typeface, footer, sidebar, etc. should be enough.  There's also extensions. 
Although the primary purpose is to add new (open source) functionality, since
different wikis have different extensions installed, that also creates a
different experience.

If we have actual different core functionality on by default, that means
additional common configuration possibilities to test and less efficient
collaboration with non-WMF developers.
