Sorry, but maintenance has a poor return on investment, and they keep attracting these "nerds" who don't want to buy stuff and talk about how everything is crap.
In fact if you talk to the people who actually frequent this website you'll find out that no one likes any changes made within the last 10 years.
Seriously. (Score:5, Interesting)
Are there a lot of people out there who have just been chomping at the bit to change the slashdot logo?
How about fixing some of the horribly out of date and broken website code instead? Just for one day. In October!
Maybe make a mobile version of the site that is more than barely functional? For one day! In October!
Shameful.

Yeah, I know. I've been posting here under various accounts for 10+ years.

I imagine they will port it to Drupal eventually, but we need a really strong 10/10 book on it first and Packt hasn't released it yet.
