These changes will need to be carefully tested/validated. If you want

now (as is the "Details" icon etc.), and the caption-above-the-fold is
not implemented yet. We've looked at some of this with folks at
Wikimania, and the community feedback there was very positive. But
like I said, give us a bit more time on this.
This looks much better! (though it appears to have problems with PNGs...)
In answer to your query regarding how we communicated about this,
please note that we posted the following at the beginning of the poll:

Thanks Erik, I somehow missed this. It is indeed ample notification.
Cheers,
