For reference (raised by rozzin in IRC):

As noted by XRevan86, modules are not necessarily non-essential.
As we will keep the modules directory in GS root [therefore, near to
plugins/], it is evidenced the difference between both.
This is a simple yet fundamental structural change. It doesn't change
functionality but makes clearer the way we understand GNU social's
internals.
No validation has been attempted yet. Lots of changes left. This
is visibly not (very) different from the previous CSS layout. But
some simplifications have been made.
Might cause issues with local changes to themes and CSS. Also maybe
javascript which depends on certain legacy microformats elements.
The move to microformats2 is motivated by the announcement that all
microformats should be migrated to version 2, as of 2014-06-20 at:

Conversation trees works pretty bad with the current layout, javascript
etc. So it's best if we separate it and work on it as a side-project. The
oldschool settings are currently being deprecated (or broken out like this).
I'll wait with removing User preferences for oldschool conversation tree,
since that might be reusable data. But I guess it will go in the near future.
