Comment (by nacin):

 Not entirely sure how this should work. Always update themes, that makes
 sense. But what about Twenty Ten? (Is it staying in the download package?
 Seems like it.) Or future Hello Dolly changes? We want to encourage people
 to update via the Beta Tester plugin, so I'd rather keep it as close as
 possible to how it works normally.

 That said, the theme should always be updated. How can we check if we're
 updating to a development version from here? Are we able to check the
 transient for response == 'development'? If so, that seems better than
 parsing the existing and incoming wp_versions.

 We do a $type check in the update code. Perhaps we can make this only
 apply to themes, and only the final theme in the array. (If we end up
 introducing two themes at once or something, we can always just change
 this code.) Or maybe this simply becomes another thing to bump? We already
 bump versions in wp-admin/includes/update-core.php. We could also do
 $force_reinstall = array( 'twentyeleven' ) and add/remove as appropriate.
 (And only force this for development versions.)

 Regardless of what we do, let's make it filterable that way the Beta
 Tester plugin can add a checkbox or something, if westi wants.
