I think predictions of vB's demise are way premature. As I've said, I like xF, too. But I think it's going to be a few years before it's quite as feature rich as vB has been. Not to mention, it's a different animal, really. It offers something different, and will need to survive the anti-vB crowd that dominates it's support forums, before it grows into something more. And as we've already pointed out, what's practical isn't always what everybody thinks vB.org should do. It's not a flip of the switch, or a week worth of work thing. That's what they keep trying to tell us.
I do agree that vB.org needs a mobile skin, though. I thought about offering the one I've been developing for vB 3, but I doubt they'd be too keen on using anything third-party developed. For good reason. Not to mention, who knows if some of the core modifications the site uses even relies on templates.
