On the contrary, this should have been done years ago. The reason users are complaining so much is partially due to the fact that we've had to migrate to a much newer version of MediaWiki.

As a result, things aren't nearly as smooth as they otherwise would be. But if you ask me, staying on the legacy platform is what I would consider useless. Because it is an unsupported version of MediaWiki that may eventually be rendered unusable.
