Keep rendering the legacy UI in xblocks for the foreseeable future
Pros: No dev time and cost will be spent on a feature that we plan to deprecate eventually (~2 years)
Cons: Content created in MFE and interacted with in legacy, and vice versa, may create some incompatibility. Here one that i’m aware of:
Images uploaded in MFE do not show in legacy
More investigation required
Embed sidebar view inside discussion xblock view - sidebar will show inside iframe of xblock
Cons: Will require modifications to sidebar (dev work in range of ~ 20hours60hours)
Render xblock discussion topic in sidebar, when show discussion button is clicked.
