I agree with this. It's why we've been pushing to have Zen (probably  
with both the Deliciously Zen skin and the more plain "wireframe"  
skin) included in addition to Themetastic as the default theme. The  
fact that there have been at least 4-5 completely distinct themes  
built on Zen that change nothing but a CSS file is testament to the  
fact that it is powerful, flexible, and easy to modify.

If there's resistance to putting in two "new" themes, then one of us  
could probably easily port something like Bluemarine to Zen and  
include it that way.
