[DEPR]: eox-theming

[MaferMazu]

Proposal Date

21 Oct 2024

Target Ticket Acceptance Date

TBD

Earliest Open edX Named Release Without This Functionality

Teak - 2025-04 or TBD

Rationale

Comes from eduNEXT/ednx-saas-themes#230

I think this should we weighted alongside a deprecation for eox-theming.

From what I understand eox-theming provides two main features: The multi-level template inheritance and the extra_scripts context processor. If we are only using the css-runtime children then I don't think the former is too valuable. About the latter, I don't know how is its current state, but I think is not being used by the stratus clients, and needs a replacement in an MFE world.

If we are not really using the features on the plugin then it makes sense to drop support for future releases and make few adjustments to have less code to maintain.

This is a proposal. We need to figure out the implications and changes that need to be done before approving this. But I created it to no lose track of the proposal.
