Updating to 15.1 flags three rules as deprecated:

at-rule-name-space-after
block-closing-brace-newline-after
block-opening-brace-space-before

I get a large number of deprecated rules when I extend @wordpress/stylelint-config/scss with no additional rules of my own:

I think it's idiotic for Stylelint to be deprecating these, but I guess if they're going to do it then this package should follow their lead and remove them.

Stylelint is now on v16 so WP's config is 2 versions behind and all the open PRs connected to this seemed to have stalled. If there's anything I can do to help push this along, let me know. I'm hesitant to open another PR for this because there's already ones in progress, however I'm willing to contribute code into getting this resolved if someone can advise on the best way to assist.

I'm also not sure I agree with the "Type: Enhancement" label here, this is a dependency issue, and this outdated peer dependency makes it difficult to use the WP config in external projects / with other stylelint plugins.

Not sure if this belongs here or in a separate issue: @wordpress/stylelint-config has two other dependencies:

"dependencies": {
    "stylelint-config-recommended": "^6.0.0",
    "stylelint-config-recommended-scss": "^5.0.2"

These two are currently on version 14.0.0. Putting

{
  "extends": "@wordpress/stylelint-config/scss"
}

into the config file for stylelint makes linting fail with TypeErrors, if current versions of stylelint and the stylelint-config-packages are installed .

@gziolo I'm hoping you can help as you've been active on these PRs and you work for Automattic

This PR has been stuck for 1.5 years now, and I think it's really important we get Stylelint updated before it hit v17 and we run into issues being on an unsupported Stylelint version.

Would it be okay if I opened a new PR for this, as the others haven't been updated for so long?

There's a comment from one of the Stylelint maintainers here which provides a path to upgrade without deprecating rules in the stylelint config, we just have to pull those same rules from a different package: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/50336#issuecomment-2229050221

@mikeybinns, happy to help to land it. There were several attempts in the past, and I reviewed a few of them hoping we can get updated to the latest version of stylelint. So whenever you have something to play with , let me know, and I will be happy to assist. New PR is perfectly fine as long as it addresses previous talking points.

[mikeybinns]

Excellent, thanks for the speedy response, I shall get to work on that right away :)
