I have another proposal... remove all themes from portage. We only need ebuild og gtk-engines and similar. Themes don't need a build system or are complex to install. Any user can go to www.X-theme.org watch the screenshot, download the theme and install it. We must mantain ebuild of themes that need a build system or complex operations (again gtk-engines).
I did it some similar with ebook-ebuilds. I removed all ebook-ebuild from portage and create an user script to download and install them.
