Why do we need one theme, not 5? Why should we be limited by the requirements of a default theme when making new, exciting work? Why should what Mark likes define every theme this team produces when Mark is not every other Ubuntu user? Shouldn't the artwork community work to ensure that there are themes to suit a range of preferences in Ubuntu - not just one default theme that has a number of other very important constraints on it that _aren't related just to the way things look_? The community is NOT making the default theme - it doesn't matter that we have many different themes. It only matters if nobody every finishes a theme and packages it so it can be distributed in Universe, eventually maybe Main. Please see: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2008-April/005852.html Kenneth Wimmer IS appointed by Mark as the manager of the default theme - he is BATMAM, in your words.
