Umm...the Drupal community IS a committee....and Dries is the final
arbiter after weighing input.

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.

I do agree that a community of developers is not going to have the
best feedback about *design* elements.

We obviously do a smash-up job on code when it comes to the comittee model.

Farsheed is asking for feedback about browser/module/etc.
compatability -- please stay on target.

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.

If Dries tells me to be quiet about it, then I will. After all, it's his decision in the long run.

I am staying on target by making sure that an "ugly" theme doesn't make it to be the default theme for Drupal 5.0.
