GIven that the team priorities (and Reader teams themselves) have shifted, I'm going to decline this task due to the complexity of the menu system as @bwang outlined above, and the maintenance overhead that this would incur without a more generalized way of handling these types of menu modifications.

Jdlrobson-WMF added a comment to T391781: How should skins behave when content isn't responsive (Minerva skin had a blanket `overflow: hidden` style on content area).
Looking at the commit message, it’s unclear to me whether it’s necessarily a final decision, so much as an interim step to deal with regressions caused by the previous change
Escargot_rouge added a comment to T365330: Split theme-night.less into component files.
I don't know if I should tell it here or on T359644, but theme-night has been deactivated on frwiki, so corrections specific to frwiki can be removed from theme-night.less.
