--- Comment #66 from Eduard Braun <eduard.bra...@gmx.de> ---
You want a very good reason (in addition to the many reasons that were already
given before but which are seemingly ignored by the devs)?

Lately I had to rely on a very slow and unstable wireless connection. The HTML
part of pages was usually loaded. CSS and especially JS parts often timed out,
though (and as far as I know ULS is a huge piece of JS adding substantial
amounts of CSS). As a result Wikipedia got totally unusable for me, while many
other pages being more lightweight did still work without problem.

So get off your high horse - not everybody has access to a 100 MBit cable
connection nowadays. It's a shame Wikipedia is not suitable for low bandwith
connections because of nice-to-have but not necessary extensions like ULS. If I
had the possibility to disable all the unnecessary cruft which ULS is only a
part of I could have possibly continued to use Wikipedia. Since there currently
is no such possibility I had to do my research somewhere else.
