 theme support for "custom-header-uploads" by default, and allow the theme
 to remove said theme support as a way to enable this.

 That makes sense.  I'll update the patch accordingly.

 core?  I don't see the point.

 Exactly, it should be up to the theme.  Right now it's not even an option.
 Custom headers are all or nothing.

 but rather in instances where a user on a site might be allowed to
 edit_theme_options but should not be allowed to modify anything beyond
 what the admins have specifically set up for the site.

 Another use case I see is being on Multi Site networks that want to offer
 a range of branded headers, but not wanting to give the user the option to
 upload an unbranded one.
