Hey,
This is only true if you want almost no functionality of out MediaWiki and
you want it to be very slow.
There are quite a few people running MW without a cache or other magic config and find it quite suitable for their needs, which can be quite non-trivial.
MediaWiki is incredibly difficult to properly
run and requires at least some minor sysadmin experience to do so. There's a reason that almost every MediaWiki install in existence is completely out of date.
So because MediaWiki already sucks in some regards, its fine to have it suck more in others as well? Is that really the point made here?
Cheers
