my $0.02 (which is probably worth even less when it comes to the topic
of aesthetics), Laura's new proposal looks much nicer than generic rtd
which looks better than current site..

I mostly don't want to get a much needed infrastructure/process
improvement derailed with a bikeshed discussion about themes.  Nothing
against playing with theme options and seeing what people (with better
taste than me) like, just don't want that to be something that derails
the bigger picture ;-)
