Using "bootswatch.css" file name by web2py is a bit confusing, as can
clearly be seen :)
1+ to renaming it in order to clearly distinguish that it's entirely
provided by web2py project and doesn't come from Bootswatch. Either
"bootswatch4w2p.css" or perhaps "web2py_bootswatch.css" or anything
similar...
As to maintenance concerns - true, there might be further needs to adjust
it as new versions of Bootstrap or Bootswatch become available. It's a
moving target. But there are some of us using Bootstrap/Bootswatch with
web2py now and even more will use it as web2py 2.0.0 becomes available. We
are bound to spot and fix the problems as they arise.
