--- Comment #3 from Jesús Martínez Novo (Ciencia Al Poder)

I like Bartosz idea. I agree that we don't lose much if skin.js isn't
accessible anymore, but that's a hack, which means poor quality code and
potential problems.

A special page can be localized, something that could be more difficult to do
with what looks a legitimate subpage.

For me, it would require more engineering time to do that hack and be prepared
to many unexpected results, some of them that come to my mind without digging
too much:

* What if that page gets transcluded
* Ways to prevent editing that page (through API, through URL manipulation
(action=edit)
* Ways to prevent any page to be renamed to /skin.js
* Existing pages with that name that may exist on the wiki that will become
unavailable

Also, I think we agree this is an enhancement
