Rather than fix it all the time, they just let go of MediaWiki completely. For the main usage - mobile discussions - it's sufficient for many communities. Not technical ones, obviously. But most wikis function fine with it. That's good. But then you have the cons of losing the qualities forum had that discussions does not have. If staff expect to completely replace a feature, they shouldn't be degrading some qualities in turn for others. Considering some communities may rely on those qualities that discussions don't have right now and may not implement in the future.
