That won't ever happen, and shouldn't happen because it too had its own disadvantages, namely a huge wastage of space by putting the interwiki links across most of it. Despite that, it was easily visually superior and its notifications were better organised. The new header bar does the right thing with the search bar and updated interwiki navigation, but falls short just about everywhere else.

Everyone should be looking forward to a new feature rather than longing for an old one. If that's the case, there are probably issues with the new one, and they should be intelligently addressed taking to mind the feedback of those who use it.
