Personally, I think talk of "power user skin" versus "reader skin" is pointless.
Pointless? Would it help if we used the term "user stories"? :-)

I think we should be focusing on making the software and system better. If that means "a better skin api" or it means "a new skin" or it means "removing old skins", let’s do that.
This has the feeling of a false trichotomy. I don't think anyone will be revamping the skins system anytime soon, but that isn't to say that means we should instead simply remove the skins. There's always the option of doing nothing or moving the skins into extensions or many others.
I believe the open question remains what to do with Cologne Blue and Modern. I don't think there's much objection to moving them into extensions. Then we can debate whether or not to bundle the extensions by default with core. It'll be great. ;-)
