What exactly means
New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
Is that a feature for extensions which define their own skins? What does the "*" stand for? I can't find any Bug report or Revision linked to it. Don't we already have standard.css for "generic styles"?
We've consolidated the CSS into skins/common/common*.css. See r95837 for the beginning of this.
Ah, thanks for the hint. But they are not loadable as own modules? I think they, most clearly the commonElements.css, would be a great base for a myskin.css.
Check out resources/Resources.php to see how this is done e.g. for the Vector skin. You will notice that you can use these files as a basis for any skin without having to copy them (I guess that was the reason for doing this seperation).
