 > > The Theme Name (aka theme slug) is already exposed in the path to the
 Theme's stylesheet
 > If a theme *does* want to play nicely with certain plugins, then it can
 add it's own class in 5 lines of code, or the plugins can handle providing
 theme-specific styles if they are providing any styles at all, including
 detecting the active theme.

 I look at this as more for a third-party to be able to have themes and
 plugins able to play nicely with each other rather than pushing the theme
 / plugin authors to differentiate between which ones they will favor and
 which they will not; but that also takes us into what is becoming a non-
 related matter.

 Again, as I prefaced above, this may be more a Mallory-Everest idea with a
 working patch that proves it out. If a developer, such as you have chosen
 to do, wants to "hide" the theme name they can just as easily remove these
 or any other classes from the `body_class` output.
