Comment (by ilovewpcom):

 **This goes against everything** that was discussed about the role of
 themes in the past 10 years at least.

 In the past there have been a lot of instances when a new tab with themes,
 a different algorithm, a different order, different X, Y, Z have been
 appropriate.

 Every single time theme authors heard the same song: it is not the role of
 .org to promote or market any particular product. It is not the role of
 .org to make the themes repo look like the plugins repo.

 The logical request of removing the default Twenty themes from the Popular
 tab fell on deaf years.

 But now there's a new shiny toy (that is not even ready or wanted by the
 general public).
 And suddenly people with a direct interest in having a spotlight on their
 themes are pushing this "new" idea.

 This is a spit in the face of the hundreds (if not thousands) of theme
 authors that have been contributing to .org until now.

 **"Classic themes already have too much attention in the repo, let's take
 away some of it (or what's left of it)."**

 This is an ill-conceived idea that will have bad consequences.
