Mystic Monkey, the policy has an extremely short time to come into compliance. Staff simply didn't have enough time to make both desktop skins compliant. Monobook was actually scheduled to die later this year. Given that there wasn't enough time to update a skin they don't make money off of, Staff simply decided to sunset it. I'm sad Monobook is dying, but I can understand why it happened.

In summary, they couldn't fix it because there wasn't enough time to fix something that was going to be deleted anyway.
