implication of removing portal_skins

Hi all,

Kim Nguyen is wanting to take up the effort of making sure we fill the
functionality hole correctly when we remove the use of portal_skins in
Plone 5.

He, and many others, are concerned that doing quick edits on functionality
in plone will become very difficult with the removal of portal_skins. When
managing MANY sites, as he does, being able to do quick edits through the
ZMI is very important to the power of Plone and his deployment.

Kim created a document with his concerns enumerated and asked me to
respond. I have, and we've now put that document, unlinked, in the
collective developer docs with the idea of the document eventually morphing
into a howto on doing things the "plone 5" way without portal_skins.

The document is located at:
https://github.com/collective/collective.developermanual/blob/master/source/misc/plone5way.rst

Warning, my responses are NOT assumed to be the absolute correct response.
These are just things I've thought of right now. Please, if you can explain
things better or know of a better way, modify the responses.

Also, this is no a place or a discussion of why portal_skins is bad or
wrong for the future of Plone. We've had that discussion, done :)


Thanks,
Nathan
