This is about right, as I see it..
I'm about to (with the help of an intern) re-do our custom skin again,
and it almost always entails figuring out what content in albatross is
actually required, vs. what is in the templates directory. From the
1.0 base (I know, we're slow with moving), I had to pull most of the
template/skin content from albatross (e.g. the panel wizard wouldn't
work with what was in the base template directory, IIRC)..
I would LOVE to see the templates providing function separated from
the "layout" a little more than it is..
As we're looking at the upgrade to 1.2, I'll try to be better about
listing the issues we have with creating our skin as we run into
them..

 I agree that we should include it in 1.3M2, but I don't have an opinion
 about setting it as the default skin or removing albatross from the
 package. This is not something that can be done for the moment, and it
 won't be possible until some more code is changed.
 This is because for the moment Toucan is just a customization of
 Albatross, and cannot live all by itself. If we manage to extract the
 core of Albatross as platform-web templates, so that Toucan will depend
 only on the core templates, then I'd vote for the removal of Albatross.

 the Toucan skin so that users can easily use it and test it more.
 Then in 1.3RC1 we would make Toucan the default skin. We should keep
 the Albatross skin too I think and only remove it in 1.4 (i.e. users
 would download it from 
code.xwiki.org to get it).
 WDYT?
 Thanks
