Well, "what the heck" is that since January we've implemented a highly complex CSS stylesheet that is entirely unique on the Wikia network. We have two skins, allowing people with different visual acuities an option of how to view the site. This decision to place inclusivity over a front page re-design took up more time than I anticipated.

The other thing is that in that time Wikia changed the place where people "landed" when they first came to the site. It used to be that you landed at Special:WikiActivity, and that therefore you never saw the front page. Now, you see the front page every time.

Thus, the front page redesign appears, for reasons that weren't expected when initial priorities were set, to have a more "urgent" priority than it did earlier in the year.

I urge you all to remain patient for just a little longer.
