Comment (by nathanrice):

 >Aside from the UX difference, is there something preventing you from
 addressing your needs on one of the hooks that runs on theme activation?

 Obviously, as the developer of Genesis, I can probably push in code to
 make WP work pretty much however I would like it to. But yes, the UX is
 the key, and I personally believed it would benefit more than just Genesis
 users, so I wanted to see if there was interest in it for core.
