It seems like it's all they're working on (it's not, but I get why you get the idea). It's a big rebrand with a lot of different aspects, and someone made that decision a while ago.

It ruffles a lot of editor feathers the wrong way. At least with the last rebrand, before most people's time, it went from Wikicities to Wikia. It moved away from something it was inspired by - Geocities - but kept the wiki part. Now, it feels like they're moving away from the wiki part.
