Right - what is the extent of the breakage you're seeing in new installs?
'Cos in the general use case (apache with mod_php), it's the way Mediawiki works out of the box by default, it Just Works and so there's a huge backward-compatibility pile of wikis with this URL format.
- Users who insist on /index.php/Foo style urls now have to opt-in to
something that could shoot them in the foot by actually configuring MediaWiki to use `$wgArticlePath = "/index.php/$1";`
Again, this looks very like a personal aesthetics argument.
