Renaming it might be a good idea anyway as "CubaLibre" is politically loaded
and might or might not be offensive to some. While that is ok for optional
downloadable content, for a masterpage in the core product it might be better
to stay with something more neutral. @Alex: Any suggestions for an alternative
name? I will do that adjustment then together with the removal of BrightBlue as
both need to touch the list of masterpage names.

@Alex: Can you fix those up?

Ok, I will try to adjust those.

@Alex: Can you take care of these two too?

Given the cardhouse fragility of this area of code, I wouldnt want to go there
for 3.6.

Best,
