The whole thing is not for 2.0. Bad luck. People had two years time to
come up
with UI proposals.
Perhaps it's better to postpone all the UI stuff to a future release.
It seems like discussions with a bit of controversy (e.g. UI) get stalled
during development because there's no "manager" to take the final decision.
Then at the last moment everyone realizes something needs to happen, and
others object because of the deadlines.
As a final suggestion for 2.0: Maybe the UI file could be linked to an icon
directory (instead of the preferences which are being developed now) and we
could add an "experimental" UI file linked to the new icons and toolbar.
This way it will be totally separate from the old default UI, and maybe
allow for some discussion regarding a new default UI in the future.
