Now that I had a second look at Crystal and Nuvola (as an modern alternative) 
I'd disagree with your views on icons.
KDE-Classic somehow seems to have that technical feel to it - Crystal is 
pretty friendly (too 'friendly' for some - ok) - I'd say nowadays executives 
are fine with that.
One thing I'm not sure about is how Crystal and similar look on a 256 colour 
display. Given nowadays common Terminal Server setups such environments 
aren't all that uncommon.
So if I think about KDE on our companies desktops (Windows right now) there 
would be no problem with Crystal but definitely with Keramik. 
Documentation thats either written for Plastik, KDE-Classic or a similar 
classic theme won't look misplaced with any of those styles as they all 
follow the same basics.
