Comment (by nacin):

 So, archive.php can be used in a number of situations: authors, dates,
 categories, tags, other taxonomies, and post type archives.

 There's already an author.php. There is also a lot of conditional code in
 archive.php for dates, categories, and tags. Thus, "Blog Archives" would
 only apply for custom taxonomies and post type archives. In that case, a
 generic "Archives" (rather than "Blog Archives") seems sufficient.

 But when you look at it, wouldn't it be cleaner if Twenty Twelve had a
 date.php, category.php, and tag.php? I'm thinking about the approach a
 user would take, trying to customize their theme, probably from the theme
 editor, without knowing a thing about WordPress. (Been there, many years
 ago.) I'd rather leverage the existing hierarchy than fill up a catchall
 template with conditionals. Then archive.php is just a weak container for
 custom taxonomies and post type archives.

 I'm just playing around here, but [attachment:21951.diff].
