Blocking the train so it doesn't get past beta

We can:

  • remove mw-body-content from VE surfaces on desktop, but other parts of the code expect the selector to be there, e.g. .mw-body-content p.ve-ce-branchNode-newSlug {
  • add another exception to the hack in Vector, increase the specificity again e.g. .mw-body-content:not( #mw-content-text ):not( .ve-ui-surface )
  • abandon this hack in Vector as a non-starter, leaving previews and diffs broken for another week, and try to get back to a state where we just have one simple selector for content styles (mw-body-content).

Given this is a train blocker, I'm reverting the Vector change, and we'll have to live with the broken previews for another week or so.

Hello, train conductor here. Is this still blocking the train?

@jeena No, the revert above has resolved the issue.
