Comment (by bpetty):

 It generally seems agreed that the HTML5 input type styles need to be in
 these themes, obviously for the most common ones at least (email, url,
 text, password - all planned to be used in core for existing frontend
 forms).

 I still don't see a solution here that actually works for blacklisting the
 type styles, there isn't even a patch here that does it. So I don't think
 that's an issue moving forward.

 To clarify, this has nothing to do with choosing specific ones per theme,
 every theme needs the same selector set, they just need those selectors on
 the textfield input styles already specified for each each theme.

 So, I think the only issue being debated here is whether to provide the
 additional HTML5 input type styles (besides email, url, text, and
 password) for form inputs not being used by core so that plugins can use
 them with the default theme without requiring the end user to manually
 create a child theme with the styles when they install one of those
 plugins.

 We already need to provide at least 4 of the types, and it's an incredibly
 simple patch, it's just that it only seems a little verbose since this
 patch is adding them for 3 different themes all at once. It's really not
 any different or more verbose than providing the vendor-prefixed
 background gradients though.
