This is great.

I don't have a strong feeling either way: I just installed Nodoka (and 
made the blue a little less bright) and it look decent. Maybe a bit 
slower, but I have to use it more before drawing any conclusion.
It fit OK the Myst icon theme, so no problem on that front.

Thinking more, I am a supporter of having a Fedora specific flavor, so I 
am inclined *for* using Nodoka.

I think Echo is not complete enough for a default (and I am not sure it 
is the right way) so my option is Myst for yet another release.

OTOH, I suspect that postponing Echo yet another release as a default my 
mean its definitive dismissal.
