No, I'm not OK with the idea, because the way it was phrased
suggested that we should "make them look consistent". They have the
right to be independent, to make the decisions that are best for
THEM, and we should not be enforcing "consistency" over their wish to
be independent. We should propose good ideas, but let the individual
brands / distros choose the ideas they want to integrate.

They definitely should have their own identities. You're right, we
should drop the idea of "making the themes look as similar as
possible", although I do think it might be a good idea to have all
different Ubuntu flavors share color schemes. Ubuntu would have its
default theme in three colors; orange, blue, grey, as would Kubuntu
and Xubuntu; it's a good way to get some nice different color schemes
in the distro while giving the other flavors a wink. Of course, that's
only if the other art team members feel that this is a good idea and
if the devs of Kubuntu and Xubuntu are up for it.
Otherwise, we could simply make three themes for Ubuntu which use
orange, blue, and grey, without doing the same for the other flavors.

What we do need to do though is to make sure that if I for example
choose to use kopete under GNOME it should blend in nice with the rest
of the desktop. In order to do that we need to make sure that
icon-naming-spec is properly implented on all four(?) desktops and that
packages like tango-icon-theme-common works properly (and that the
coverage of gnome-app-icons in crystal is good for that matter).
I'll personally continue working on this for edgy.
