I think the idea is that it helps discourage new uptake, since it is on |
| 16 |
its way to eventual removal. Keep in mind that those who have it already |
| 17 |
merged along with their favorite theme can keep them in overlay, so |
| 18 |
removing the themes from the tree simply keeps new users from merging |
| 19 |
something that's already on its way out, only to have to deal with its |
| 20 |
removal relatively soon (months?) thereafter. |
