No we don't necessarily break the backwards compatibility for the
frontend: we can still provide different css styled content templates
same as before but have to communicate now, that the admin has to chose
the one he wants himself as the upgrade wizard does not do it anymore...
by default that would mean that you get the current new css styled
content template after an upgrade but still have the possibility to
include the old one.

Cheers,

Susi
