My main concern is the squish factor mentioned below. And the damage the new image heavy background driven customization is going to lead to.

How much control will we get? or are we going to be stuck scrunched into unreasonably small content areas?

In fact... aside from background images, what customization options are we looking at? So far I don't see much other than an extreme limitation in control of our own mainpages given that there are huge, ugly black bars even on the light colored sites....

What I'd like is a more detailed list of specs for what we can and can't control... As one of the admins on my wikis that does most of the layout stuff, I'm already having a nightmare about the change... I see the Warriors Wiki loosing our mainpage layout and out navigation structure all in one fell swoop.

Shouldn't we get to choose if we put function over form amounts our own wiki population? Right now if a Wiki wants to sacrifice functionality for pretty they can do that. From the look of this there's no broadening the content area so that the articles can stand at the center the way they do in an encyclopedic wiki.
