View submission: The web redesign, CSS, and mod tools
Typically the path you see in these kinds of transitions is that new features don't get support for the legacy system. So, things may have parity initially, but slowly people will move to the newer version as it gains new features the old one lacks.

it's not just that. This is not a "we're switching to a new frontend, the old one will be available but not updated" type of scenario. The entire point of the new system will be to make it easier for new features to be implemented by reddit devs without worrying about breaking css. This means that when enough people switch over to the new system, changes will be made that will consider css an edge case, and break it.
