[wp-hackers] New Default Theme in 2.1?

[Computer Guru]

That's a good point - newer isn't always better... I personally never
thought about it.
I guess we don't have to worry about it for 2.1, but in the future? 

Is removing Kubrick from the core, but using it if it already exists and is
selected good enough? (assuming, of course, that Kubrick is replaced with
Sandbox)
