As has been said before truly great themes will only be possibly by focusing on the task the web site has to do - blog, brochure, community, e-commerce etc. You actually need a handful of base themes, not one, and that brings us back to the whole 'distribution' thing.
++++++++10 Bravo! What most people forget when they look at WordPress' theme gallery is that WordPress is meant to do one thing and one thing alone : serve as a blog. Drupal, with all it's potential uses needs to show and demonstrate all the potential purposes and uses for the software through it's distributions but more importantly the themes : Can you get a Meetup.com or Yahoo!Groups design with a distro focused on the calendar, forums and the use of mailhandler and listhandler? Can you get a Evite distro with a special theming of events? Can you get a nice ecommerce theme? How about an online newspapery theme with aggregator2? How about a MySpace theme and distro? BTW, wasn't MySpace initially created with Drupal? I seem to remember it looking really Drupal-like at the beginning. / liza
