May I change the layout of the homepage of the English Wikipedia to that of the Esperanto Wikipedia? I think that layout looks much better. I would ask this on [[Talk:Main Page]], but not many people look there that often, and this would be a huge change.
I'd say go for it. The only reason the main page is protected is to keep it from vandals, so in theory, it's just as editable as any other page. You've followed the right (cautious, courteous) convention by asking here first, since as you say, it would be a huge change.
The only risk you take is that if people really freak out about it, and a general consensus develops that it should be turned back completely, then your work would be for nothing.
But I'm looking at eo.wikipedia.org, and it's sweet.
