Comment (by helen):

 Two things:

 1. If this were to be a thing, it should be a link, not a button. It links
 somewhere else.
 2. This seems like a weird flow - you just get dumped onto another screen
 where, yes, you can switch themes, but also many other things. As a user,
 I would expect to be able to pick another theme right in the customizer if
 I saw that.

 I'd rather see something that brings the ability to browse and
 preview/live preview themes right in the customizer itself, and even then
 I'm not necessarily sure that's where we should go, more just that I'm
 curious. Tumblr does something like that, for what it's worth.
