	Huh... I'm very wary of saying YAGNI when it comes to extensibility of
Bugzilla. From what I've seen, everybody's favorite thing to do is
customize Bugzilla as soon as they get their hands on it.

	However, I can't yet imagine a problem with custom.css being the only
custom file.

	Anyhow, what I'd really want do as a Bugzilla admin is modify the
shipped CSS files, and then add a bit of custom CSS. I wouldn't just
modify the custom.css. 

	I suppose that's the value of the "skin" idea -- it lets me modify a
different set of the original files, but keep the real originals in case
I want to look at them or use them again for bug fixes.
