Comment (by rabmalin):

 Here are few themes from the Popular page in the directory where themes
 are not updated for the fix.

 * Customizr - 100k
 * ColorMag - 90k
 * Hueman - 80k
 * Hestia - 60k
 * Astra - 20k

 This is not only about 4 default themes. We should consider thousands of
 themes in the ecosystem. Back Compat is the motto of WordPress. Or if any
 breaking changes then developers should be well informed prior pushing to
 the core.

 As of Theme Review Team, we have not asked theme authors to fix the author
 description as we were hoping this will be reverted. Even recently live
 themes have this issue.
