The old style will still be available, just not as a predefined, 
built-in style.  It won't be hard to get it back if you need it.

I'm reluctant to add *any* predefined custom styles right now:
any design mistakes that get into Tk 8.5 are essentially carved
in stone due to the core's backward-compatibility policies,
and this is an area of Tile that's still beta-bordering-on-alpha.
