Must find time to do stuff besides work :-(

We did and there were several items:

a) usemod from a security PoV is probably substantially better than
most PHP apps (both due to the apps and due to PHP)

b) we have various anti-spam features - especially rollback, these
would need porting (yes, some wikis have good anti-spam, others less so)

c) we would need to migrate all the pages, people would have to learn
potentially new syntax (which might be better than usemod syntax
admittedly)

Hacking your CSS so that it works most of the time on usemod was
less work than all of the above :-)
