Hey, I really like Murrine! What does everybody else think?:

Is it really that odd when the final release date is in two days (19 Oct) ?

Gentle GNOME was brought up for discussion [1, 2] back in July but was 
met with mixed reviews so we didn't go for it. If anybody else had 
proposed something back then, we could have been considered it. So it's 
not that it was never on the table, it's that nobody spoke up with a 
strong preference. So speak up, everybody! :)
