Comment:

 I think this definitely needs to be looked into for the modern web.

 SASS is being used more-and-more, as is Composer, Grunt, etc.

 Currently, if you're using a mixture of these tools and frameworks, you
 will usually compile and minify your CSS on the fly, which removes
 'comments', thus breaking the style.css. So instead, a manifest file for
 storing the theme information, or even just a theme-config.php, would be
 ideal.
