You're touching here at XWiki core structure and it's not never a good thing to change that unless you completely understand what it means. In the same way you can delete lots of jar files in the WEB-INF/lib dir but if you do you'll find one day that when you use such and such plugin it doesn't work.

This is my issue with the albatross skin in general. It assumes a three panel layout that doesn't fit our corporate guidelines. (i.e. per our guidelines, the content always renders first: so you end up with the content, then the right side, then the left side). If you just brought all of the *.vm files from albatross into the templates directory, I would still be broken.. I have to go and update view, edit, inline -- any of the template documents that render the basic layout of the page.
But this is the way albatross does things, too. The panels are rendered after the content. Finch was doing it the other way around.
I have a patch (which I should submit, because I don't think I did), that allows you to specify what the default "template" directory should be-- it's a simple patch, but allowed me to make sure that under no circumstances would xwiki go looking for things in the default template directory.
So I'll take a look @ what's coming, and we'll try to be better at submitting patches, etc. as we upgrade. There was only one of me last time around, and not enough clock..
