Refactor css layouts again?

[alcarney]

During the previous css refactor, we were able to split the layout css from the css which gives the site it look. - Which allowed us to create the theme system we have in use today. However the results were not perfect.

Have you ever looked at the contents of the _sass/layouts/ folder?... It's a scary place and definitely not the easiest of beasts to maintain. How would people feel about implementing one of the CSS methodologies out there such as BEM or OOCSS?

By implementing a system like this, not only should things be more consistent, but it should allow us to have more modular layouts. Theme designers can mix and match layouts that they like rather than be confined to the only one we currently have...

I would appreciate any thoughts
