I had conversation with Kovid about the mockups.

The gist of it is he will accept the changes if all three of these conditions are met (this goes for pretty much any change):

1) Kovid doesn't have to do the maintance work.
2) You can convince Kovid/others it's an improvement.
3) All platforms are created equal.

3 doesn't mean we can't do platform specific changes but we can't say remove the news downloads from one.

Kovid is open to having an OS X only GUI. Similar to what we already have with the wide and narrow UIs. However, I'm personally unwilling to maintain an OS X only UI.
