  `rem` would imply that design system has control over root font-size. But in 
MediaWiki, that's the skin's territory. So depending on `rem` will make the 
interface vary widely across themes. See T262928: Use opinionated `rem` setting 
across Wikimedia Foundation deployed skins 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T262928> for a possible way out of this 
problem.
  `px` units are an accessibility no-go as users can't override them in 
settings. See https://github.com/wikimedia/stylelint-config-wikimedia/pull/105 
and 104.
  
  These are the reasons why we've remained on `em`s where necessary despite the 
compounding effect issue.
