Not sure what you mean. I had some problems getting rid of oldstyle 
skins completely (including main_template), but that is not what the the 
"absolut" skin does. I gave up after a short try, so I can't provide any 
further details.

-1 for adding a second base profile

We can do the same as in CMFCalendar: Use views in the default profile 
and provide an extension profile for people who want to switch back to 
oldstyle skins.

I propose to do this step by step. We have views with different levels 
of maturity: Some exist for a while and are battle proofed. Others are 
new without any real world testing. Each view should be reviewed if it 
is ready for becoming default.

I'm fine with a beta *if* that brings additional testing and feedback 
before the final release.
