It is getting harder each time to guess what changes in the FE if you
raise the compatVersion.

I hesitate to change it for old sites nowadys because I don't like to
fiddle with old CSS.

And doesn't each condition blow up the TS cache tables? I never dug into
tha area of TS parsing but I guess that there must be a performance
penalty for each condition.
