How different is the configuration of modules in 4.8? I haven't looked at it but am curious to know if styling has been completely taken out of the modules. I have to stick to 4.6 due to modules that have not been ported to 4.7 and one nuisance I have stumbled upon is all the styling embedded in the modules. I run at least 10 extra modules per site and have had to go into the modules and change the width of textareas over and over again. 

So I am wondering, how can you have a completely tableless design in spite of what module makers contribute? Because if the modules makers will still be embedding styinling in their work, wouldn't this defeat your purpose? Just curious.
