We are not expecting MIT graduates as new Wikipedia editors in Malayalam
Wikipedia. Even the seemingly simple task of "finding" and "disabling" some
gadgets can be disastrously discouraging and technically challenging for new
visitors (readers and editors) in projects such as ours.

As for Malayalam, we have enough and unique language and font issues already in
place at the OS/browser level itself. Since almost 10 years, we have been
trying to bring the horse to the water. And now when the horse is ready to
drink the water, it seems polluted! Seemingly completely out of control and
misbehaving from an early user's point of view.

ULS should be an opt-in. Not opt-out. And even either way, at least ULS should
be treated like HotCat or WikiEd that the user can choose to COMPLETELY get rid
off.
