I think we should have you use only UseModWiki for a few months and then you can come back and tell us whether we've actually made any improvements to our technology stack since 2001. :-) In parts, our sites certainly look staid, dated, or even boring, but we have a number of cool new features, with more to come, of course. Briefly putting all of this recent drama and in-fighting aside, the most vital part of the Wikimedia Foundation's responsibilities, keeping the sites running fast, reliably, and securely, is being appropriately handled. The world continues to be able to read and contribute to our shared free content and for that I'm grateful. The rest is commentary, as they say.
