BuddyPress will continue to work the same way except the root blog theme has merged with the member theme. There is no difference other than that. Your users can use whatever blog theme they want.

No such luck. Its almost as if WordPress and BuddyPress live in different worlds, which I find totally infuriating and I am sure is complete marketing ignorance. Either that or, not uncommon in these circles, pure developer arrogance about who's way of doing things is better. They say success breeds contempt, don't they, an they also say pride comes before a fall. Let's hope I am wrong on both counts. Because in this online world we all infest, the developer(s) of BuddyPress/BBPress etc seem so far removed from the sharp end, that they think actually think THEY are steering the ship. I thought they knew that its interoperability and forming winning alliances that is the evolution of online success, these days, especially when they chose WordPress as their primary alliance. What a waste of effort they have created and what a terrible, crying shame they forgot about the benefits of interoperability when they laid out their product road-map. Guys, BuddyPress is, even now, just a shadow of what it could be. What it might be. I can only hope that somebody, somewhere, wakes up and smells the caffeine.

I feel for you Andy! But like you said, you shouldn't have to cater to the minority, especially when they want everything done, perfectly, for free. The new framework is a huge step in the right direction, it's sad there are so many that can't take 2 seconds and try to actually understand what you're saying. For the people complaining, RTFP. Thanks. Wow, for such a great WPMU plugin, people sure do complain a lot. I feel for you Andy!

And that will link "my" theme to the child theme?

I'm using Theme Hybrid and want to keep using it. I want to create something that uses BP like TastyKitchen or GigaOM. Given the parent/child structure, I was hoping to simply just add BP templates to the parent and then use the child to modify both Hybrid and BP templates to create a custom child. How would one go about this? Is doing something like Tasty Kitchen so involved that frameworks just get in the way?
