Re: [xwiki-devs] [Idea] Compatibility file for deprecated styles

Hello devs, I've just hit an issue where my application relies on CSS styles definitions that are being dropped between 2.7 and 3.0, namely all the dashboardXXX classes, abandoned in favor of the new dashboard macro styles. While I reckon those CSS classes were never explicitly defined as being APIs developers should rely on, I think we should offer better backward compatibility for those who did rely on them, just like we do with JavaScript code (see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HBackwar… ) What we could do is introduce a compatibility.css file holding styles for such deprecated classes, and decide if we want it or not included by default (The JavaScript compatibility.js file is included by default, for example, although the rules states that XE releases should work just the same without it, of course).
