Comment:

 "If you're on the themes admin page, the Network Admin link sends you to
 the network themes admin page (and then the Site Admin link sends you
 back)." << I'd rather those links always go to the same place for
 consistency instead of switching on the fly. If you want to write a plugin
 that implements your suggestion, we could do some testing and see if it
 performs better (and if so, would consider the switch).

 I think having Enable and Activate might be confusing, as enable as a
 regular word (vs a specific WP term) means something very similar. I also
 wonder how different those two words are once we get into translations.
 Maybe we should rethink one or both of those labels.

 "Should we also display the currently active theme at the top of that
 screen? It's only displayed on the "Info" tab at the moment." << That
 sounds like a good idea. Or maybe highlight the active theme within the
 table. I can post to UI group to see if anyone wants to mock up an
 'active' state.
