 If this is not on the roadmap at all then please just close this ticket.

 It seem unnecessary to have the older default themes still bundled in
 core. Twenty Fourteen is stable and shows off WordPress' default
 functionality well. I propose removing all themes prior to Twenty Fourteen
 (i.e. Twenty Ten, Twenty Eleven, Twenty Twelve & Twenty Thirteen), or
 maybe keeping only the current theme and one prior (currently Twenty
 Fourteen & Twenty Thirteen) as having two bundled themes would demo the
 theme selection page a little bit more for new users.

 Removing all of the older themes would reduce WP core by about 3.6 MB,
 which is obviously a win, but if all the themes are still included for a
 good reason then feel free to ignore everything I'm saying :)
