I'm surprised if it has not been said elsewhere, but we do apologise for the issues. We don't want to simply turn off all JS, because that is hardly a useful solution to the problems at hand - we want to preserve the great work that already exists, while making careful, sensible improvements.

We are making progress on a whole variety of fronts to solve and improve current issues - not all of which have been detailed in the tech updates so far. We'll announce them (and roll them out) as soon as they are ready.
