Wow! you hit me big time with nostalgia about Mola's FC6 design, which I
liked *a lot* at the time (but this one is much better from an usability
point of view).

But this is not a bad thing. We always said some interesting concepts
may be revisited later (like F7's starry night, moon or flying), just
not in the subsequent releases.
And in various (unscientific) pools, FC6's DNA theme is considered an
all time favorite by many users.
I've read that quite a bit myself. I have no idea how it fares in
usability measurements but I know several people who hung on to their
FC6 backgrounds up until around F9 or later. That's all anecdotal,
but suffice it to say that having a hint of something we used in a
different way before isn't, by definition, a bad thing.
