Description

What should we do with VectorBeta?

It was disabled in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/185116/ and https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/186549/

Is it to be kept around? Just on beta?

CompactPersonalBar was disabled in production as a beta feature, but can still be loaded via

mw.loader.load("skins.vector.compactPersonalBar");

Based on the negative feedback on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Compact_Personal_Bar about the deactivation and the above posted workaround there, I think VectorBeta should be still loaded for the users who want CPB regardless of the "critical" bugs and fully aware of this.
I see no reason to deny that possibility.
