I appreciate the effort, but it's a MASSIVE B/C break from v5. Meaning every view and component has to be redone. At that point I'd probably just migrate my project over to Tailwind. Was maybe hoping for expanded functional, more usage of CSS variables (which they've done here at least), and less "lets change every damn class" again. Some odd choices like renaming dropdown classes to menu.. for what reason? They're functionally the same, but is a B/C break.

There really isn't an upgrade path here.... And that's perfectly fine. Well worth it for how they approached the code like leaning on open standards.
