It's a bug that caused JS to stop working in Monobook, which is a high priority ticket with our engineers to fix.

We would never intentionally break Monobook in order to get people to change. That'd be a really shady move, and that's not how we operate. All major product or technical-related changes are posted in our staff blog or technical updates.
