@Nitpicker: people take a lot of pride in presenting their work, customizing their wiki skin etc. so that it comes off well. When Wikia makes the new skin mandatory to be set as default skin for the wiki (as it did sometime after Monaco was introduced), you cannot choose to have your work presented with the old skin. You might be able to use Monaco yourself for a while (as you can use Monobook now), but your readers will see the new skin.
