True, though don't most of the people currently doing buttons for those in a
custom way try to add new buttons rather than replace the MediaWiki powered by?

Shouldn't we also try standardizing a newer button list (copyright, powered by,
hosted by, extension powered [just for smw like large exts], etc...) which is
supported by skins that have specifically coded support for it and can support
more than just two buttons?
