 Ryan and Matt,

 I don’t know if it came out how I meant it, but I was only talking about
 fine-tuning, not about changes. To give an example of what I mean:

 At the top, site title and site description are different in five ways:

  *  size
  *  weight
  *  style
  *  family
  *  color

 I think that’s excessive.  They don’t need to be that different to be
 sufficiently distinguished.  When I look at Twenty Ten, something clashes
 in my eyes, and I think it’s the abundant variety of font styling.

 Overall, I do like the styling of the theme; a lot.  But I have been
 trying to pinpoint what is it that has this clashing effect to my eyes,
 and I think it must be the font-styling.

 (Those who know me from here will also know that I don’t mince my words.
 If I did not like the overall styling, or if I thought it was not good for
 the default theme, I would say so.)

 Another thing:

 Some of the things that I’m complaining about, like points 2 and 3, were
 inherited to 2010 by its ancestors, Sandbox and Thematic.  Like many
 others,  I’ve been a great fan of both Sandbox and Thematic, I have been
 using both for quite a while, and I have supported both actively.

 But I always saw things in both that did not seem quite right;  things a
 bit excessive, or little idiosyncracies.  While I was fine with such
 idiosyncracies in Sandbox and Thematic, I don’t like seeing them passed
 down to the default theme of WP, which I had envisioned as something
 simple and straightforward.
