(my theories, not necessarily facts) If a dark theme is going to be used in Intrepid or i+1 then it needs to go into the dev version soon along with instructions on how to file bug reports against software that breaks with a dark theme. Kind of like the switch from bash to dash as /bin/sh. Theoretically speaking, it's very possible that a dark theme could go into intrepid for a significant portion of the dev cycle and then be pulled as beta approaches and then re-instated for i+1 where it continues to mature before being able to go live. I think a dark theme will reveal a lot of broken programs and the solutions will not be as trivial to fix as with dash. Ftr, I think Günther's work[1] with the 2d flat icons has a lot of promise, but as who stated, it is a very ambitious plan for a single release cycle. Still, if something was avail (even in rough form) by alpha 1 or alpha 2 it would generate a lot of useful bug reports.
