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.

Kenneth Wimmer IS appointed by Mark as the manager of the default
theme - he is BATMAM, in your words.
