They could strip out just the image functionalities fairly easily.
Currently popups on en.wp can't (or just don't) display images that are
hosted on Commons. It instead reads "imagepage preview failed :( is the
query.php extension installed?"
That should be changed for regular popups as well as for a new version that
has image information. Most of the images in articles are on Commons (other
than band articles etc. where they are primarily non-free album covers or
other non-free images) and it's a bother when the popups don't work :(
