[Koha-devel] RFC: make OPAC XSLT be shared by all themes

[Manos PETRIDIS]

I'm no developer, so my comment may be way off track but wouldn't it be a move to make koha less flexible? In general it would be better for themes to be as diverse as possible. Could the same results be accomplished by eliminating the duplicate files by linking them with the default theme's ones? If then one needs the added functionality, the link could be removed and a diverse, discrete file could be created in its (appropriate) place. So, everyone would be happy. Or have I got it wrong? 

Kind regards,
Manos PETRIDIS
