I don't think people are arguing to keep it lightweight like Tiddly or
UseMod but rather on a similar platform on what we already have and to
keep the core in a position where it can have features that would be
widely used by most installations and the "cruft" that is more rarely
used to be housed as extensions.

There are lots of lightweight wiki engines to choose from. MediaWiki
was never going to be among them, it had enough features in version
1.0 to put it in the heavyweight class.
Many design decisions made since then (for instance, the introduction
of the resource loader) have favoured features over support for small
installations.
I think we can turn MediaWiki into a fully featured wiki engine which
can compete with the likes of Confluence. I don't think it can ever
compete with TiddlyWiki or UseModWiki in their respective niches.
