I have a question regarding VarB : When you say "wait for a new complete skin", you mean something completely different than the proposal in VarA ?
If yes, then I would say, let's go for VarA, but do the new skin in 4.x anyway. VarA could then be the "finalized" form of colibri (the moment we say we don't make it evolve anymore except small things/bug fixes). I don't think the problems you mention for VarA are blocker, the already exists in the current state anyway. They are definitely things we should sort out, and if we are working on a new skin, that can be the ideal time. WDYT ? PS: and yes, VarA looks great, it makes the skin much less "aggressive".
