AFAIU, this velocimacro was used in Colibri and never in Flamingo. Colibri was retired in 2015. The velocimacro and styles are very specific / complex and I doubt a lot of customization would rely on it.
IMO it's alright to consider this velocimacro and styles are not API and remove them. In regards to the discussion at https://forum.xwiki.org/t/state-of-support-of-the-colibri-skin/16494 where we established that it was okay to remove code specific to Colibri, I'll take the liberty to remove the code for the velocimacro and the styles that go along with it while migrating.
