View [[George H. W. Bush]] in the classic skin but that is rather an exceptional example.
By this standard there are also far too many interwiki links for this article. We should get rid of some. :)
On a serious note, though, I happen to use the Classic skin as my default and I don't have any problem with this at all. If this sort of thing _was_ sufficiently annoying to me I could put "#catlinks {display:none}" in my custom CSS like what I did to get rid of the stub templates, or just switch to one of the other skins that puts the catlinks at the bottom. Wikipedia's display format is highly configurable so I don't consider this to be a paprticularly strong example of "harm".
