 gallery short code styling again, now that Core doesn't print the styles

 function, modify it, and put it into their themes? Or is there a more sane
 way of supporting galleries?

 > WordPress will still print gallery styles as it always has. You won't
 need to copy the shortcode function to your theme. However, if you are
 using add_theme_support( 'html5', array('gallery')), the easiest way to
 support the gallery, that is to style it like a grid or whatever, will be
 to add the gallery styles to your css file.

 it always has.

 Right, but using CSS to layout the gallery would effectively break the
 user's ability to specify how many columns they want for their gallery. I
 don't think this ramification was taken into account before this
 functionality was removed.
