I sure hope not because if so their hiring practices would need to be looked at. This rollout has the signs of an amateur staff who's never done UI/UX changes for websites before, and of a staff that is trying to maximize ad revenue instead of actually caring about their users.

Case in point: multiple large issues have been discovered - any competent team would've either rolled back the changes by now or at a minimum given people the old skin re-enabled as a "compatibility mode" until this new skin has its kinks worked out.

A competent staff also wouldn't be taking hours to re-enable underlines on hyperlinks, which should be an extremely simple change.
