No, but considering that it's the way we recommend upgrading Bugzilla 
and much easier than the alternatives (especially for sites that make 
customizations), I imagine that it's fairly popular.

Right, which is also a problem.

See my previous email on this subject regarding different views for 
different audiences.

I'm not sure why extant skins were created, but I want skins even if it 
was mostly fix our horrid UI, because I want installations to have the 
flexibility to make changes we don't anticipate or won't implement 
ourselves (for the simple reason that our standard skin can't be 
everything to all people) and share them with each other.
