>From a Rave perspective I think it's fine. I'm just trying to plan our gadgets and their use of bootstrap. To get a consistent look and feel between the container and our gadgets we want to use the same css files. Right now our gadgets reference the same bootstrap files that the container references. If those files are going away and there will just be rave.css (which includes all the bootstrap definitions and doesn't just reference the bootstrap files) in the future I just need to plan accordingly. That's all. As you said, we can always customize if needed.
