Except on one or two occasions when the whole conference has been structured
around them, the "themes" are clearly intended as suggestions, not mandatory
topics.  Compare the call-for-papers "themes" with the actual topics in the
conference proceedings of any recent Usenix; there isn't a whole lot of
correlation.  Unless things pick up radically from the last couple of times,
it is most unlikely that a decent paper with some connection to Unix will
be rejected.  But if you do not submit it, it *cannot* be accepted.
