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
