I like MediaWiki too, at least from the user perspective, but X.Org's wiki
is hosted by freedesktop.org, who leverages the admin effort of maintaining
the wiki software across a number of sites (x.org, fd.o, fontconfig.org, etc.),
so it's not entirely up to us, nor fair of us to demand a change unless the
other hosted wiki's are up for it too.

Any wiki migration is a huge pain of document conversion, since no two
wiki markup languages are exactly alike.
