I think that the whole point of this exercise is to get some really
good looking themes in Ubuntu, and while I don't think that procludes
any Smooth theme, I think it means not packing a huge number of them
in

I agree that we _must_ keep a few speedy engines in, which is one of
the reasons I champion Industrial for inclusion. I had a look at
http://gtkperf.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=testing&id=1
which suggests we should really be using cleanice if we want a truly
performance focussed skin!


Thinice, mist, and cleanice have already been mentioned a few times, but again, no one said how they felt about it. The one Mist theme that was being made, was given up on.

Once more, no one has suggested a lot of smooth themes be included, so I don't know why that its repeated.
