 Just because something is the default isnt going to change your 
personal opinion on it. So instead of convincing people to adopt your 
choices as the default it would be better to just switch the theme over 
after the installation or during kickstart. If you do have rational 
arguments about other set of preferences in various applications, 
developers are more likely to hear you because it generally is much more 
applicable to a wider set of people. I am pretty sure that are dozens of 
other themes which some of the users like which isnt being shipped in 
Fedora Core at all.  You should use the theme sites like 
http://art.gnome.org or http://kde-look.org.  Applications that grab 
such themes from various sites and make the end user experience in 
changing the themes from a wider variety more transparent and easier 
would be a good thing to do. Thats where I would like to see the effort 
go towards in extras or even in core
