 First there was nothing...

 ...and then MediaWiki showed up. ;-) I can't find the link where I read
first about all the skins, but possibly it is somewhere on MediaWiki.org
actually; Monobook was created far before modern was. 'myskin', 'monobook'
and some more skins looks pretty the same, but modern was created in 1.12 <
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDefaultSkin> and uses other id's;
therefore, modern uses it's own common, print and such .css'es.
