Why is the minimal theme still using deprecated SCSS?

Store Design

Hi, when I’m in the code editor, I’m getting the message that SCSS is being deprecated. But, why is it that my theme is still using SCSS? It’s the minimal theme so it is provided by Shopify, yet it hasn’t been updated to match their rules!!

I’ve changed all my other SCSS files to CSS, but when I try to do this with the theme.scss.liquid and the timber.scss.liquid style sheets it screws up my website (I changed the links to the style sheets as well).

How is it that Shopify is ending something and not updating their themes to match!?

I’m concerned that at some point this is going to totally break my website!

TIA,

Patrick

There’s a difference between depreciation, sunsetting , end of life, and discontinued.

And how do you think that works, hrrrm?

Things in transition need time to be transitioned.

Actually, it’s deprecation, not depreciation - totally different things.

I’m sure it’s not too hard for Shopify to release a new theme without the scss so that we can download and test the new theme before launching.

There must be a reason why they’re suggesting this to people, but they’re not following their own recommendations - which have been coming up for quite some time now… Plenty of time to test and release… Hrrrrm?
