What I believe Mira Laime is trying to say is that the benefits of ditching Forum for Discussions may not necessarily be to the feature itself. Instead, the benefit would be in allowing Wikia to upgrade MedaiWiki and thus improve other features. For instance, the latest version of MediaWiki has (supposedly) "good" mobile editing; a feature which is completely lacking on FANDOM right now. - Edit:

Here is an analogy for what Wikia is working towards. I have 10 different features. By replacing 1 of those features with a "mostly viable alternative", I can make significant improvements to the other 9 features. Whether or not that trade is worthwhile depends on how the improvement of the 9 other features balance the changes to the single feature.
