Hi

Including a personal ubuntu gnome-shell theme does not exclude at all to  
keep the original adwaita theme installed automatically
It would only give a more personal touch to ubuntu gnome - that's one

"I propose to stick with it and let upstream GNOME designers decide what's  
the best default theme for us."

Really ..
Canonical did also decide for us what the right desktop should be .... :)
