The release time might take issue, because instead of asking for a freeze exception in order to change the look and feel of the default desktops, we'd be asking for a freeze exception to do that, and also package up three non-default themes, which is an entirely different thing. In the mean time, I think it's a bad idea, because it forces all desktop users to install nearly half a dozen themes. I think we really have to step back and acknowledge that we *are* in freeze, we should take the freeze rules seriously, squeeze should be released as soon as possible, and these themes will be available in the next release (and in squeeze via backports). > We can remove the previous artwork (at least Etch one) too to gain size, > though that means dealing with the alternatives removal. Because we can't package the existing theme in a new package for squeeze, this would mean that anyone upgrading to squeeze who has chosen to have the old theme will have it ripped away from underneath them. So I think we have to leave the old theme in for squeeze, and move it into an external package for squeeze+1 (or drop it, if nobody wants to maintain it). -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
