+1 to continuing with the new theme.

This might be a bit early, but can you comment on how the proposed
theme would interact with Debian's Booststrap packages?

+1 to using a name like 'default'.  To sum up, assuming folks are on
board with the Bootstrap-based theme, I suggest:

3.14 -- new theme is introduced as 'default', replacing CSSR.  'prog'
is officially deprecated
3.16 -- 'prog' is removed

Galen
