This will never happen, but....
Lots of the layout issues I could handle on my own if the checksum test when the client starts was removed. Those .dat files in the resources folder are just XML and easy to figure out. Looks like .core are the Merge base files and .brand are for RPM, Carbon, etc to modify for their own skin purposes. Let us mod the .brand files or add another type, like .custom, and you'll see the power of a community of users self organizing to develop an interface that makes sense to them.
