Patrick, Max, Arthur .. thoughts ?

Well, currently we use the SkinTemplateOutputPageBeforeExec hook and the addMobileFooter method to customize the footer. We get this copyright with:

$skin = RequestContext::getMain()->getSkin();

$copyright = $skin->getCopyright();

+1 on the rename. We've been wanting to do change it to desktop for a
while. In the future I can see us having

'Desktop | Tablet | Mobile' across all sites.

Now for the other functionality. Thats tough as while I agree that it
should not be there anymore ... but we don't have enough of the nav
design nor do we want to do it just yet. Thus we have three options

1) Just delete it and add it back later

2) Delete it and hold on pushing the change till the temp nav is in place

3) Put it somewhere else
