Everyone, thanks for the feedback.

To be clear, I just mentioned some examples that would be relevant to Ubuntu's current state. I am not opposing the development of projects like Breathe. I was just trying to define consistency and to justify its inclusion to the UX guidelines by giving those examples. With the help of Breathe and similar projects, there will be a greater variety of usable choices for Ubuntu users. Right now, I would encourage more conservative icon sets (Tango-compliant) ones for official releases because they are fit for a larger audience.

David, I agree with your idea of having a more ambitious UX guidelines that is above Tango or GNOME HIG. As Kevin said, Ubuntu has more considerations than a desktop environment. Probably, I was being too conservative.

Also to clarify, my definition of consistency, as Kevin said, is internal. It is about having a consistent experience while using Ubuntu.

I just have errands to run now. I'll get back to this.

Again. Thanks, everyone
