That's one way of looking at it, but not one rooted in reality.

UCP is neither good nor bad: it is. It will be. We'll have to get used to it. Pining over the past, blind to its faults, is not helpful.

WikiActivity definitely made at-a-glance patrolling easier than RecentChanges, and the alterations made don't really cut it (even NewFiles had features Images doesn't, like listing the usages of files). But it's not coming back even with all the complaining. The script is the only alternative.
