​Sure, because they aren't in MediaWiki core.​ Trevor's point is that there
are four skins to fix *in the same commit* as fixing the skins system, and
this would be a lot easier if there were instead three, or two, or one.

In fact, this is the *reason* we stopped adding new skins to MediaWiki
core, and instead they're treated like extensions and sysadmins are
expected to pay attention to breaking changes.

The wider question about fixing "once and for all" the changes to skins is
out of scope for this discussion, and would involve some serious thought,
but that's something that can be done regardless of whether Cologne Blue is
in core. It'd just make it easier.
