It is a valid concern, yes but forcing one theme style is not the way to 
move ahead. It is very important that themes should be easily 
replaceable all across the desktop environment and applications. If not, 
thats a bug and should not used as a argument to adopt one theme.

If the Fedora art team wants to move ahead and adopt a different style, 
they should be encouraged and allowed to do that.
