 Seeing how theme authors have no access/control on how the Previewer
 displays a theme, this causes more problems than it solves.

 Even if we have better test data, the Previewer will not be able to
 display the full potential of a theme.

 An option would be to add a tag in style.css, something like `no-
 previewer` and the button disappears.

 Just to be sure :) an off site link to a demo is off the table? We
 currently allow a Theme and Author URL and any ill-intentioned author can
 do the damage there.

 We could also ask if theme authors want this in a make blog post by adding
 a poll and maybe take that into consideration.
