Perhaps the split background should be an option: Tiled, As-is, Stretch, Split. Set Split as default, if you want, but give people the choice to opt-out.

I would also like the opportunity to enable Darwin in my preferences - right next to monobook - before compulsory rollout, in order to ensure that existing CSS is compatible ahead of time.

Having such an option would be nice, some backgrounds are not implemented to be split and should thus not be split.

Wikia is going to provide a skin for Darwin, when the time comes, but before Darwin releases, you will have enough time to test your configuration.
