 But, this is entirely ''non-essential'' code. WordPress core doesn't need
 to define gallery style, any more than WordPress needs to define style for
 any other markup.

 Removing it won't "break" Themes; though Theme developers would need to be
 made aware that they'll need to incorporate the style definition into the
 Theme.
