Umm...the Drupal community IS a committee....and Dries is the final<br>arbiter after weighing input.</blockquote><div><br>Just because the Drupal community is a committee, doesn't mean it's the best way to design a theme. I would never dispute that Dries has the final say-so. I hope you aren't suggesting I felt otherwise.

Farsheed is asking for feedback about browser/module/etc.<br>compatability -- please stay on target.</blockquote><div><br>If I feel the theme is sub-par, and isn't fit for Drupal 5.0, then I do believe I have a right to say so. I feel I will be doing the community a disservice if I simply shut up and let a theme that wasn't great get pushed through.
