folks to tweak the design of the page
Thanks. I figured that out. I'm not arguing about the reasons to use CSS
variables. I'm arguing about the process. Decisions like this one, i.e.
introducing in core a substantially new technology, should be discussed in
a proper place by a broader audience. That said, the boat has sailed and
I'm not going to ask for a change. However, I do think this is not a
proper process to follow in this project.
The fact these CSS variables are only used on the About page and are
considered "private" (whatever that means) doesn't make any difference to
me. I'd like to see teams consider WordPress in its entirety as a project
that needs well established patterns and standards. Instead, across the
years, I sometimes noticed some teams tend to manage their own component
like a separate project, introducing unique development patterns. That
doesn't help consistency, standards, maintenance, and over the years leads
to a situation where a piece of WordPress is developed in a specific way,
another piece in another way, etc. etc. Far from ideal.
