Notice that the theme format we have right now is out there, and 
existing themes will be supported for the duration of the 4.x series. 
This is a commitment we have to do in a stable series. Of course, as we 
are crafty, we have added versioning information to the themes, so in 
the case of an incompatible change we can study how the program can 
handle it.
There are lots of us in Akademy, and we are a bit silent during these 
first 2 days in the list. But rest assured we are reading this thread 
with interest, and will discuss about it during the week, probably on 
Tuesday, during the unconference period!
