The good thing about the Tangerine development was that we can now start 
sending stuff upstream to GNOME and the developers behind the different 
applications that have been fixed up. This can't be done with Human, so 
making stuff original  is not always a good thing.
Anyway, it's been a fun ride and I hope to be able to pick up the 
discussion on icons after Dapper has been released. But fow, Mark has 
made his choice this time and after all, it's his distro.
