Aside from discussing the PyQt split (see Scott's reply), we also need to discuss where to get the necessary extra space from (I heard we'll need some 8 MB for this). This is another example for pulling in a large runtime for just one program (in the past we also had Erlang, and Mono). In principle we could treat one runtime against another by dropping Python 3 again (it's just switching lsb-release back to Python 2), which should free ~ 6 MB. Python 3 will definitively come back, but after precise we'll have bigger image sizes.
For the UI switch itself, I overheard that Qt will adapt to the GTK theme when running under GNOME. Has this been tested properly? Does that require an extra theme package? If you'll drop support for the GTK version anyway, then we don't have much choice. But given the space constraints we might need to ship the U1 installer on the Precise CD images.
