I don't read? Give me 3 non-cosmetic issues that 6.12 has that 6.03 doens't. There aren't any. "I don't like the look and feel" is not a valid excuse for Khaled to go out of his way and write a patch, IMO. There is a "patch", it was named 6.12. Simple.
If you don't like it, you don't have to use it...just don't ask someone else to go out of their way because you refuse to upgrade to a patched version.
