I've just tried the tab modes for the first time, and would describe
the current default look as "functional", so if the proposed fancier
look is a substantial improvement, then I'd be in favour of either
allowing the extra time to develop them, or else allowing them to be
merged later as bug-fixes.

Perhaps it would be useful to see a screenshot showing the difference?
