Vector is the best way
to motivated them to fix things. At the last company I worked for (which
owns a couple of top 100 websites and has a staff of thousands), they
didn't even care about their sites working right on iPhones. Considering
the number of cell phones that Vector does work on, and the fact that it
was implemented by a small handful of developers, I think they should be
commended rather than insulted. But that's just me. (FYI, I had no
involvement in Vector development.)
It worked, then it broke, and Wikimedia didn't check beforehand and
was slow to act on it. That's the sequence of events as it actually
occurred. That doesn't look good to the end users, no matter how
little the people who made the change like it.
