Not sure, is tempting but is would be a high maintenance burden.

I would use an upstream theme with a few customizations to add a bit of 
personality.

In the extremely rare occasion when I fire up an application from the 
*other* DE, I would prefer it to not look alien among my other applications.

But this will come with a high maintenance price and a huge flamewar 
("they dumbed down my DE of choice!!!")

Considering how the decision where made so far, I think the final say 
here will be from the Red Hat Desktop Team, they are the "official" 
maintainers.

I don't think we have enough people skilled in GTK+ themes for a 
competition, but I would like to be proven wrong :p

Not sure, at least a big part of it is better suited for fedora-desktop, 
but this topic is closely related to both.

As in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/FeatureList ?
Only if we have realistic expectation for it to make into the release.

my 2 cents...
