That's why I think bug 69678 is not worth your time, really (but I'm not the
one to judge it).

Personally I am fine with the symlink solution and I'd close all of it as
WONTFIX.

Or maybe why not MediaWiki search for skins also in some other directory, say
/w/skins-ext (or whatever the name) and leave /w/skins/common in peace.
