Thank you very much for working on this! :) 

Would you like to finish off EPEL5 and push it out too? 
(everything there is 4.6 and is built, but I haven't fixed comps or
pushed things out as an update yet)

anyhow... ;)

Just ignore it and use default I guess. 
Unless we want to branch/make one... which I think would be a lot of

Drop it for now.

It's got some other themes, might be usefull for some folks. I would
build/ship it, but not make it required by anything.

excellent. (except mousepad, but we already talked about how thats not
a good plan). ;)
