I do not have any issues with a "blank" theme, generally speaking I would consider most "minimalist" themes as working to be considered along the lines of "blank" as well ... at least given definition I would use when reading "minimalist".<br>
<br>Having another theme in the repository specifically, or at least originally, designed for the purpose of helping new (or old) "developers" is a great idea. I'm not even really seeing it requiring a niche label as I am taking from the original premise it would pass the standard guideline requirements as one of its initial goals.<br>

</div>I think separating them out would be OK but I think labelling them as "blank" would be better than "developer". It's friendlier to people who wouldn't label themselves as developers but are more than capable of hacking a blank theme.<br>
