Comment (by nacin):

 We now hide tags, and bury file locations inside a 'Details' link by
 default.

 I've always thought of these file paths as potentially useful but
 ultimately extraneous information for the vast majority of users, not to
 mention an eyesore. Do we honestly need them? I'm not decreeing "No," but
 I'm suggesting we need to really think about it.

 As a practical matter, this needs to be updated to use WP_Theme.

 Secondarily, there is the potential that a parent theme is invalid for the
 current theme on disk (and in WP_Theme) but not for what is the current
 'template' option in the DB. This makes for fun failures:
