No. It's my opinion. Respect it, please. You don't have to agree.

Well, if we end with some stuff not themed, some stuff themed, having it 
applied by default as well as non-default, maybe even different looking 
theming depending on the package, the result will suck.

Is it that hard to define a few goals, instead coming up with "ha, let's do 
Gentoo themes" without having a clue about the conditions, what it should 
look like and what the side-effects are!?
