I think it says more about the decisions Wikia has made over the years - they decided to hack the software to bits and now have no real option of upgrading without huge amounts of cleanup. I don't think there's a single major class in the entire codebase that is the same as vanilla 1.19. They're reaping the benefits of those changes, for better or for worse.
