Depends on the priorities.

My idea of the best return of investment is to pump up CSS and JS in a way that would let a new PM look so much better - like e.g. MetaCPAN does in comparison to CPAN.

Tobyink already did a nice proof of concept.

So what's missing is not only a team which drives this forward, but also a perspective from the gods to allow changes if they meet certain quality measures.

It's understandable that an admin doesn't want to add more code on top of a pile of unmaintainable code.

That's why we need to define goals and criteria to improve in a maintainable way.

YMMV, but I think it's a question of project management.
