It means old-style skin, which can be created TTW from properties tab in portal_skins.

In new resource registries all resources must be mapped into "bundles". Bundles are then mapped into skins so that each skin can include multiple and overlapping bundles. Cooked css/javascript will then include all resources from all bundles mapped for the currently active skin. Very flexible, but a bit complex and pain to manage both TTW or using GS-XMLs.

Of course, all stuff related to skins and resource registries must be managed manually TTW or with GS-XMLs (there's no automation for them in p.a.theming).
