That is something, we should discuss on a strategic level: 
Perhaps it would be wise, to lump some facelifts together and add some 
innovation as the sketched tag-based preference theming within the control 
center. While normally prefering slow evolution, an impression visually and 
conceptually new (without breaking the core!), would give the magazines and 
blogger something to write about. 

The message would be that Trinity is not dead/old-fashioned/backward-oriented 
but alive and kicking, and well worth considering.
(one semiotic level of triscele and trifoil is "past/present/future as a 
trinity")

My 2ยข, no ill feelings if any or all of you won't share this visions.
