Comment:

 [attachment:34306.diff] is my attempt at setting the new default for new
 sites where the twentysixteen theme exists on the system.

 * It keeps `WP_DEFAULT_THEME` at `twentyfifteen` as that's the latest
 theme we can rely upon being on the system.
 * It avoids hitting the filesystem to determine WP_DEFAULT_THEME

 The alternative is to alter WP_DEFAULT_THEME during the build process, if
 `twentysixteen` exists during build, set as default, else `twentyfifteen`.
 This would work for new installs, but fail on upgrades (As twentysixteen
 won't get installed during update, but may exist within the package, or
 when the package was built).

 I don't know the answer here.
