I agree aswell. From the installs of MediaWiki I did so far this year  
for websites,
pretty much all of 'em are specifically requesting the "Wikipedia  
software" (because asuming)
that MediaWiki is what Wikipedia runs. Which, by all means, is true.

However, installing it in such a way that the end result is comparable  
in terms of
features is yet another. (for example the element ID change that  
mismatched between
the UsabilityInitiative-extension and the Vector-skin (#mw-panel etc.)).

The UsabilityInitiative has worked hard on making a new look and feel  
for MediaWiki.
So I think it makes sense that both the PHP backend, HTML-structure  
and CSS, aswell as the JavaScript
involved are being made available as one "Vector", as supposed to  
seperated.

Also, for what it's worth, I personally found the name  
"UsabilityInitiative" as Extension partially
confusing aswell. Since the UsabilityInitiative "team" made the Vector  
"skin" aswell, which was
coded in the core from the beginning. Why some part got split up as  
'extending' was unclear to me.

Looking forward to 1.17 :-)
