Heads Up: Chrome v61 is likely to break many v0.5 & 1.0 Apps

Hi All,

Just thought I would mention this in case any one has any v0.5 or 1.0 apps still in production. If you do it's definitely worth testing the current Chrome Dev channel or Canary against them. v61 is going to remove the / deep / CSS selector. That breaks a lot of old Polymer UIs that used it for themeing. It also breaks some old libraries, such as a popular Dart Font Awesome port. Since there's, no replacement for the / deep / selector fixing it is often not trivial.

The Chrome Team are currently considering whether to delay the change or not:

They are appealing for anyone affected to update the below spreadsheet.

Not sure how many people this effects.
