(Honestly, the difference between a non-Darwin and Darwin front page on an iPad is massively in Darwin's favour.)

Adapting to it is really not as hard as it seems. Yes, if you have intricately-designed front pages where you have specified specific widths for various elements, you will probably have to spend some time rethinking those. If your elements have widths specified by percentage, adaptation will probably take 15 minutes. But there are test wikis open, like w:c:darwin — and have been for many weeks — to help you prepare for the change.

Ultimately, this makes all our content look better on a wider variety of devices, so it's for the good. What is the change be? And can you just please not do this anyway because I have just experienced multiple changes for the past week now and I do not wanna deal with this one now. I mean, you gotta respect and care for the way I feel about all this.

It's not really that fair that an update just be cut off because it may mean tuning the wiki design. Everyone has to remember that this has been months in the making and many wikis are looking forwards to this update as it's been long awaited. The guys at Wikia have been working really hard to bring us this wicked update, and even harder to make sure everyone is kept to date with it. This isn't the first announcement of this, it's been spoken about for months and people have had plenty of time to prepare! The Halo wiki changed our entire wiki design in the time that this was first announced and now, I'm sure changing a div from width="660px" to width="100%" isn't as time consuming as you may believe. I'm even happy to help if you feel strangled for time? But don't you guys care about how I feel about all this of how I have severe anxiety and has always despised change?
