      A space specific stylesheet causes the global stylesheet to be ignored. This means that there is no way to set any styles customers want respected at a global level and then tune their styles on a space by space basis. This means that in order to have space specific customizations customers must duplicate their global css into their individual spaces. This leads to duplication of effort whenever global styles need to be updated.

            I totally agree with Felicity Chapman :

            Please either fix this as described in the bug or allow us to simply define a link to a CSS file for each space. Either solution would make maintaining stylesheets for the needs of different spaces much easier.

            Having to copy-paste the global stylesheet to each and every customized space stylesheet is tedious and error-prone. And it happens every time you have to make global changes to the look in a site that includes a significant number of customized space stylesheets. Plus you need some extra trick to identify which spaces' stylesheets have been customized and which not.

            I don't understand how such a development could be so complicated that you have chosen not to do it for the past four years...
