I'm curious what the current demographic/usage cases for text browsers
are. I'm not asking this to undercut the argument, but as a developer
hoping to improve the Wikipedia experience for as many users as
possible. It's my understanding that blind users no longer use text
browsers, but instead use screen readers with regular browsers (based on
my one conversation with a blind Wikimedian). Who are the people using
text browsers and why? What is the current text browsing experience like
on Wikipedia? Do we serve the mobile version to text browsers or the
regular version of the site? Is Lynx still the most popular text browser?
Sorry for my ignorance on this subject.

No reason to bother text browser users, they won't notice the disruption
in the first place!
Please don't remove $wgSiteNotice from Mediawiki.
It's the only way we http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family
administrators can with one edit to LocalSettings.php put a notice on
our many wikis, without editing each MediaWiki:Sitenotice etc. database
changing operations.

That table looks horrible in text browsers.
