All the people who run older hardware around the world will be glad to hear 
that their hardware will double, I'm sure.

Won't that be misleading?  Instead of the slider simply adding/removing 
addons, the slider will now have an abrupt change to an entirely different 
look?

That will also still prevent people from getting the old look with the 
personalizer.  If the personalizer is to be a credible alternative to the 
KControl for giving users choice, then we should be able to add new themes 
to it.

hmm.. themes.. personalizer.. I may have stumbled onto something here. :-)
