https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T133388: How to update JavaScript components

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T133462: Standardize a way to make JS components be able to use different loaders

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T133114 Preference section "Internationalisation" balloons after clicking "More language settings" --> lead to general topic font-size inconsistencies James F.: OOUI change font-size?
What is the biggest hurdles?
Move font-size from bodyContent to <body>; requires updating everything that lives outside bodyContent
Volker: If we set the font-size on <body>, we can use root ems (rem)
per-skin stylesheet
ES: the monobook support at some point. yes - the global overlay is at the end of the DOM
RK: We're doing a weird hack in Echo to multiply out the personal tools font size
RK: Moving the size to body is something, which gets support by other participants?
ES: Content is 14px in Vector, tab labels are 12.8px
RK: Personal tools is 12px
VE: Opening a task about the font-size problem across the board and will bring this up in next meeting to participate again
