Speaking as a tarball user, I'd rather the stuff I use have WMF
interested in its maintenance :-) Stuff that isn't tends to bitrot.

Making Vector more easily skinnable would help A LOT, fwiw. If we want
the various WMF sites to maintain distinctness from third-party
installations, best way would be to make it really easy to do so.
Heck, some third-party sites get really eyegougingly horrible already
