+As Thorsten said, this is completely personal and subjective opinion. For me
+iaora colors are really ugly and should not be used. Current oxygen colors are
+far better and give the desktop a more professional look, IMO.
+
+For some reason oxygen is the default in KDE and others distros too, like
+OpenSUSE, Fedora, Kubuntu, and PCLinuxOS. I haven't seen the first product,
+open source or commercial that uses that blueish color palette and that is for
+some reason: it doesn't look professional, it looks old and more oriented for
+children, IMO.
+
+Also there has been a lot of nonconformity from Mandriva users with iaora theme
+since a long time, see for example this post:
+
+http://forum.mandriva.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=99370&hilit=iaora+ugly 
+
+Even on our own forums most of the people manifest not liking it, there's even
+a poll where the majority wants to see it removed and the minority likes it:
+
+https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=203&start=25
+
+Also IMO, this is a choice that shouldn't be taken by a few but the opinion of
+users should be taken into consideration. As you saw in the previous link to
+the poll, the majority of Mageia users DON'T like iaora and prefer oxygen over
+it.
+
+I hope the art team hasn't made up their mind on this as I think that iaora
+color theme is a bad choice. The only thing I see good on changing the default
+color scheme of oxygen is in going for a more personal look that differentiate
+us from other distros, but choosing the wrong colors can do more harm than
+good.
