Oh yes, I'd forgotten about that little jewel, the bit where a senior
Gnome dev is on record as saying that themes the user can control are
bad. And this person wants to remove (or at least tone down) themes so
Gnome can control Gnome's brand.

Who cares about a brand? Projects make software that works.
Distros do branding. Or does Gnome want every Gnome-using distro to look
the same?
Do Gnome devs know how to spell "fork"?
