Cheers, it's fixed. (Addendum: Recent Changes is back to the new format, but at least there's search.)

In the future, I think changes need to be optional for the first few weeks. I believe the changes were put onto certain wikis (new English-language wikis) first, but I think most admins only visit a few wikis, and so were unprepared for when the changes appeared on theirs.

Any change both adds and removes functionality, and the latter will always draw ire. In the future, I don't think functionality should be removed, if at all possible, unless people are specifically requesting it be removed.
