Yes it's confusing. The other discussion on the design list, in https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/design/2015-February/002246.html is helpful.
 
My goal at the moment is to get these two pages updated:

* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Design/Living_style_guide

this now mentions both.

I also edited https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOjs_UI to mention the MediaWiki theme in 1.25, and https://living-style-guide.wmflabs (Andrew, Prateek, Trevor, it's your call when to remove the "early draft" caveats.)

The reality is some forms in core, 16 extensions, and an unknown number of on-wiki gadgets use the mediawiki.ui* modules, so IMO we shouldn't eliminate a fine generated demonstration of how it works. But we should be clear that going forward, using OOjs UI will be the way to UX consistency. (I'm still unclear about the timing of "going forward" and "will".)

Every instance of the living style guide's documentation should include links to the living style guide and its source code, in my opinion.
I'm not sure what you mean, but that sounds right.

More to do:
* revamping https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_UI , I've made a few edits already
* mention OOjs UI in the mediawiki.ui LSG (gerrit patch to resources/src/mediawiki.ui welcome)

Thanks for caring!
