DISCLAIMER: THIS IS JUST MY OPINION, IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED READ NO FURTHER:
:start rant
I really don't think wharfs are outdated by any means, simply underappreciated. If a theme looks better without a wharf, then by all means leave it out, but I find minimal themes boring, kind of defeating the purpose of swithing to litestep. I personally think most of the minimal themes that feature a taskbar look exactly the same and are essentially the same as windows/kde/gnome (whatever). I feel that if you're gonna switch shells, do something different. I like the Elegance-16 layout, it's smooth, and asthetically pleasing with a [url]http://www.shadowness.com [/url] background. Oh, and Nixblue is still one of my ALLtime faves it's pretty much what got me reinterested in litestep after being away for a few years.
Anyways, enough rant, short version being, if you don't use them, bothers me none, but, hell, i like'em.
:end rant
