 With TwentySeventeen merged in [38833] it's a little more obvious about
 the directory structure than presented on Github.

 Burying `css/`, `images/`, and `js/` within an `assets/` folder isn't
 particularly useful and isn't immediately obvious as to the contents IMHO,
 promoting these to a root level entry can't hurt.

 Likewise as @bronsonquick mentioned to me, having template parts (used
 with `get_template_part()`) within a `components/` folder (where no
 SCSS/JS/etc exists as 'components') feels weird and confusing to me as a
 'newbie theme developer'.
 My immediate thought is that `/components/*/*.php` would feel better as
 `template-parts/*.php`.

 I don't feel super strongly on these, but it might make it a little more
 accessible to those who have not worked on complex themes structured in
 this format.
