Hmmm, how did JDS/gnome come up here??? Since it has, I assume you don't like the look & feel of JDS, and would prefer Gnome. This is a subjective view rather than a "degradation of quality" or inappropriate for a Open Source project. It is mere branding, and you are only a few mouse clicks from changing to suit your tastes. Personally I quite like the new JDS look, and prefer it to the default Gnome look. This though is purely down to what I prefer. I certainly don't think it is something to get upset about.... By the way when you make quotes like "mindless rules", it really helps your point, if you produce some examples. Otherwise your words look rather irrelevant to the discussion.
