And fighting back implies that we've never been given a choice. Which is A) pretty accurate and B) Bad practice.

Making it optional would invalidate any and all objections. Making it customizable would invalidate 95% of the objections. Why is it that hard to allow either of these? People have already written CSS to customize it - all they'd need to do is allowing it on global pages. Bonus points if they allow the admins of a wikia to create a optional wiki-wide page, with a tickbox in the preferences, which could enable these changes.

And none of these disables Wikia from showing the bar to the non-logged in users, which seems to be their target group when introducing these changes.
