I'm not sure what it says. :)  I've been on both sides of that relationship, and can report that the WMF has nothing but respect for Wikia, and Wikia feels the same way about WMF.  Certain legitimate software design choices mean that the companies have gone separate design paths that have us frozen at 1.19 for now, but that's not a reflection on the relationship between the two.
