 go for a new 2010 theme? Create a modern and easy to understand theme that
 shows to the beginners all what you can do with WordPress?

 2010 is not a good example for ''beginners''.  It's obvious if you just
 compare loop.php in 2010 to index.php in Classic.

 What is the main concern here?  The extra filesize?  It's insignificant.
 That WP will look bad?  The name "Classic" makes it obvious that the look
 isn't meant to be cutting-edge.
