 > There are many flow pain points that are far more critical to keeping
 this feature in 4.2 than this. A link to add new is not critical to
 keeping this feature, and we can continue to iterate in future releases.
 We are nowhere near an all-customizer flow, and realistically we haven't
 even defined that as a set goal. Creating understanding of how theme
 installation works isn't going to start here.
 I'm more worried about understanding the ''existence'' of theme-install,
 and havingg a dead end when none of the installed themes fit what they're
 looking like. I think we need to address the fact that this would go from
 a one-click flow to a three-to-four-click flow, and is a logical flow to
 have, before commit. Just because it isn't all-customizer doesn't mean
 that it won't be a high use case thing. I'd also like to see user tests
 before we make that type of a decision/change. While exiting the
 Customizer isn't ideal, the alternative seems far worse. That being said,
 I'd be totally fine with only one add-new button, probably the one at the
 end of the themes list would be better, and the other could be removed.
