Here are my thoughts regarding someone who is first meeting Mezzanine and wants to have his/her own customized template:
1. One has to be fairly skilled in the whole process of frontend and Django framework (so we're losing a great potential to absorb more users (I am aspiring to a mighty Pythonic WordPress)). 2. Even for a fairly skilled Django and frontend developer, the process of tuning, and matching a downloaded/purchased template can be painfully time-consuming. To be more precise, the process of positioning template tags in the appropriate place in the downloaded template requires lots and lots of time/energy. I am not an authority in the field to propose a sound solution, yet as a serious user of Mezzanine who loves to see it grow *significantly, *I see this whole process of customizing a template a major hurdle.
