Re: [development] Splitting up patches

Thanks for the reply, Neil! I'll try to reply to the rest of it in more detail tonight, but...

Is anyone actually working on this stuff, admin or default theme, with the intention of getting it in core?

Yes, Jeff Robbins and some other folks are working on a new default theme for core, with hopefully a demo/patch to come this weekend. To some extent, the holdup has been due to dependencies on some of the new theme stuff that have gone in recently, from what I understand.
