[Koha-devel] OPAC theme defaults for 3.14

[Philippe Blouin]

The timeframe is all good for deprecation, but what about the immediate 
issues?
For us, it's the first time we hear that this move is coming so we've 
been developping and contributing on the /prog/ branch solely.

What is the plan for the discrepencies already in?
What is the plan for the changes in wait of sign-off (or push) ?

A short, immediate pain is prefered to a long, drawn, endless itching... :)
