Just to give a not-so-hypothetical example, since I don't like discussing
in vain, what about this:
Is this okay to fix
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16260
by adding a new [[Message:qsidebar]] that is the same as [[Message:Sidebar]]
only accepts EDIT, THISPAGE, CONTEXT, MYPAGES, SPECIALPAGES, TOOLBOX boxes?
I see that hartman and dartman did some work there recently, and ashley
one clean up about a year ago.

I'd actually like to eliminate legacy skins altogether. They show up
and
throw a thorn into skin improvements repeatedly. Perhaps after coming up
with some replacements that fit the requirements of the people that
actually use them.
I haven't got any statistics yet on how many active users are actually
using these skins.
The fact that we'd discuss a bug like that not because CologneBlue and
the other legacy skins have a unique feature or layout they were created
to offer and we're trying to improve it, but because CologneBlue and the
other legacy skins lay out the ui in a pre-SkinTemplate era way of
layout we're maintaining and trying to backport modern improvements into
is a good example of why I want to get rid of them. It's like trying to
backport modern features to REL1_11.
