As a themer I looooooove that I can do all of these things with libraries. The last 3 are kind of "power-usery", but have solid use-cases, IMO. ... In D8 land you're able to do the following to libraries:

  • Add new
  • Remove entire library
  • Add an asset to an existing library
  • Remove a single asset from an existing library
  • Override a single asset from an existing library

I think getting the 2nd one done would be a huge step forward, but thought the others might be worth mentioning in case we wanted to think about other potential needs.

It'd be nice to add a library removal function, or library alter. But for now I'll recommend this in the tutorial thing I'm working on.
