change =/= progress

This change disrupts uniformity of content across pages and wikis, which is the main point I'm trying to make. There's a clear style difference between now, compared to. Infoboxes are used because they are simple, clean, and readable across all wikis. I was looking at the Wikipedia page earlier (don't ask >_>), and it reminds of just how essential standardization of infoboxes is: the two infoboxes are clean and concise. They have a defined formatting that you will find on every wiki you come across. Now, I anticipate an objection. "Teh, how about we just change all infoboxes to be like this one, with rounded corners and blue backgrounds?" And I would reply, "Apple would sue us for using rounded corners, and it sounds like an awful lot of work for no purpose." It is better to keep what we have, and possibly improve on them with style sheets/updating them for new things.
