+1. I think removing it is going a bit far. It's early in the release cycle as well, so there's plenty of time to iron out issues and work out a suitable scheme that satisfies those who just want a quick'n'dirty way to get a roughly autumnal palette, and those willing to take the time to tune the environment to exactly match what they see outside. I've still to look into this in detail (too many other things on my plate right now), but I'm confident I can some up with a sensible user interface. Finally, it's worth remembering the -devel list only represents a small part of the FG userbase, and those not using git have not even had the chance to try this yet. -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
