 Which is why the whole directory needs to be improved. It's not right (or
 fair) to prioritize one type of themes, when many of them aren't even
 production-ready.
 Funneling all WordPress users towards an unfinished and clunky product
 won't do anyone any good. WordPress is not known for its elegant UI, and
 this will make things worse. WordPress users are not guinea pigs to force
 Gutenberg and FSE on them at every step. Let this process take its natural
 course.

 **Address the whole issue instead**: improve the directory, better theme
 tags and search, implement the things that we have been waiting for 10+
 years.
 Multiple screenshots, descriptions with markup, better readmes, links to
 documentation and maybe even custom demos.
 With all these in place, both classic and FSE themes will have all the
 necessary tools to attract their  target audience.

 If this many Automattic employees (with 0 themes in the repo) are so
 worried about the state of the themes repo, then maybe a few resources
 could be allocated to improving the whole system.

 Don't take the food from one starving person to feed another.
