MediaWiki has never been fully backwards compatible with skins, AFAICT.  Every
new release of MediaWiki can (and often does) add new HTML elements that can be
skinned.

The ideal is that every skin will decide whether they want to use the default
implementation.  If not, they will decide whether to go completely unskinned
(which I don't recommend for the reasons I already stated) or to skin
mediawiki.ui with their own skin-specific stylings using the standard mechanism
(I expect skins will start doing this).

You have not proposed a concrete implementation of MW UI (other than none at
all, which I am not convinced of) that you think core should ship with.
