#5325: Continue to register theme directory in perpetuity if bp-default was ever
active

 Priority:  high          |  Milestone:  1.9.2
Component:  Core          |    Version:  1.9
 Severity:  major         |   Keywords:  2nd-opinion
--------------------------+--------------------------
 I have seen a number of support issues arise related to the deprecation of
 bp-default and our invisible de-registering of the bp-themes directly.
 Namely, when users of bp-default switch away from the theme (for testing,
 etc), and find that it's no longer available for them to reactivate.

 In #5223, I originally suggested that we set a flag for existing users of
 bp-default, but in the end it was not implemented. In retrospect, I think
 this is a mistake. It may affect a relatively small number of users, but
 it's a very big shock to find that your longtime theme has completely
 disappeared. This is something that we should have implemented in the
 first place. I'm glad to take the blame, but I think it's something we
 should fix ASAP so as to avoid more confusion.
