I agree with you, that there's a 80/20 objective here for an MVP stylesheet. However, I think wether `<aside>` is semantic HTML or not is specific to the content inside it. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US

Author of MVP.css here. Dark mode is a really cool CSS feature, but it requires a level of maintenance that goes above and beyond an MVP IMO, so I decided to remove support for it. I had it included originally, but it meant 2x the QA and 2x
