I'm not sure what you're talking about with a dramatically different UI? According to multiple staff statements, Gamepedia will retain its current skin (Hydra) before the new design system (with announced emphasis on customizability) is introduced in Phase 2.

I'm not sure Discussions will be enabled on GPUCP (definitely not immediately), if that's what you meant by social features. If it's profiles, then maybe it's even for the better if Curse profiles go away as they... well, they deserve the extra D and being called "Cursed Profiles". It's not just that there are many issues and little fixes, I suspect some of the key problems are architectural (implementation of profile data as user preferences).
