That sounds like a great idea - after all, one man's meat is another man's 
poison. :-/

You can please all of the people some of the time, and all of the people some 
of the time, but you cannot please all of the people all of the time.

Mind you, I know some people whom you cannot please ever. :-(

I haven't examined them in that light. Obviously, there are some I
prefer to others but I am very taken with the effort so many people have
put into this. There is a proposal that, irrespective of the outcome,
all the submissions end up in a package which can be installed. I think
that would be a recognition of the *all* the work and hope it comes to
fruition. Tastes vary, but we can try to cater for all of them.

Wasn't it the DPL who said - vote early and vote often. :)

Thanks, Brian.  Since I do actually care, I have voted.  One or two of them
are so awful I might even consider leaving Debian if they were chosen. ;-)

I'd rate them from silly to ugly, but none would cause me to 
abandon Debian


*IF* I can continue to set my display to a single solid color of 
my choice without shading/gradient.


I didn't see anything following a chain of links that would 
indicate I'd lose that option on Stretch. Is that a good assumption?

Thanks, Brian.  Since I do actually care, I have voted.  One or two of them 
are so awful I might even consider leaving Debian if they were chosen. ;-)
