MediaWiki Developers,

- Performs automatic left-to-right/right-to-left flipping for CSS files.
In most cases the developer won't have to do anything before deploying.
Does this affect in any way the possibility of fixing the long-standing LTR-RTL problem, where page direction depends on the content language? It should depend on the user language instead, and it should be possible to have content in different direction. Or is this just automation of the work which was previously done by hand or not done at all?
