I brought this up on the sidebar redesign page and didn't get a response, but maybe it better fits here anyways:

I actually like to remove the interwiki links. The bot by default skips over the main page of the wiki because it's an index. I just forced them to be there. The bars can be arranged better, but I don't think it should be removed. Once people goto the language we have no links back to the root URL which is why I kept the lang bar in.
