Solarize light and dark are very good color themes for terminal and text editing, but as default? I don't know, it's not suitable for everyone. There should be a quick way to change to them, that I agree, but not sure I would set them as defaults.

So, I just tried this out in the terminal. I'm not sure I would support it
as the default because Solarized's palette (at least in F-20) changes the
actual colors such that a terminal app coded to display 'yellow' will get
something that isn't.
