 Let's change that!
 I updated the Codex list and the Theme Handbook list. Happy to create a
 ticket for Twenty Eleven.

 Yes, there are probably a lot of themes out there that don't have the
 class defined. But creating a new theme support feature for it is just not
 the way to mitigate it.

 I would suggest to start adding the class in a place that is not very
 visible and start beating the drum with the release of 4.2, doing that
 theme author education that you agreed we should do. We can then continue
 to add it in more visible places over time.
