I really don't see what all the fuss is about. If some people want to work on a fresh new look, then they can do it in parallel to the other work with very little impact on the rest. How is this possible? Well isn't that what ADP templates and CSS are for?
What is the point in having a framework that imposes Separation of Concerns, and not being allowed to work separately on smaller projects?
Anyway I feel there is too much friction, or I'm causing too much friction. Either way I'm going to bow out gracefully and let others get the ball rolling on this issue.
