Comment (by karmatosed):

 > However, I'm not sure that it makes sense cognitively to show a grid of
 themes where the preview is - that may introduce confusion about what the
 preview/site vs. the UI is.

 Doesn't the entire thing suddenly changing become far more of a friction
 point for users? I'd strongly argue we have that case here.

 >  The feature proposal post is scheduled to go out in two days and we
 have a bit of time to iterate afterwards, but not much, so we'll need to
 make a decision soon.

 Why are we rushing to get the feature post out when it's not at all clear
 that this is the right direction? I totally get we want to get it in but
 sometimes things need time to simmer. Can we iterate on the layout in the
 time? I absolutely would oppose something being rushed to a feature post
 without getting proper consideration.
