Personally I would be very much in favour of such a decision.
Keramik gives KDE a very modern look (opposed to HighColor which is rather 
something back from the late 90's and which only makes only coders drool 
about). While Keramik is beautiful and very original it still doesn't deliver 
the carious-sweet eyecandy of Aqua which seems to be offensive to quite a lot 
of people after they have used Aqua for some time.

So by choosing "Keramik" as a new default we have the chance to deliver 
something that looks truely _modern_ and even more important: something 
_original_ that doesn't go on the nerves of most people (something I'd 
usually consider to be impossible ;-). I think it would be stupid to miss 
that chance. :-)
