I've reverted r17507 and r17518 after getting
massive complaints
immediately after they went live in today's site update.
I'd like to ask that people please try to refrain from changing core
styles like this without testing it against the actual site usage; for
instance the prominent main pages of English and German Wikipedia and
their site-specific CSS/JS.
We've gone through this dance enough times in the last few weeks I think
we should all be able to realize that it's kind of disruptive and should
be avoided.
Sorry, sorry . . . it's rather poor of me to constantly forget about
custom styles when most of what I'm committing is UI stuff.
Unfortunately some disruption is inevitable for this kind of stuff,
which I suppose suggests it should be condensed and spaced out to the
extent possible, with ample forewarning every time a batch is going to
be committed. Maybe I should make a branch where this kind of
potentially disruptive stuff can be committed, and then we can let
stuff accumulate there for a couple of months and until we announce
all the changes and merge to trunk? Does that sound like a good idea?
