Comment (by folletto):

 +1 to this.

 I'd also add that the lack of this feature makes '''impossible''' to
 update an active theme without disabling it first and deleting it, and
 disabling a theme means creating a gap for the site, plus it might lose
 customizations settings (widgets dropped / moved to a different sidebar).

 If a user doesn't have SSH/SFTP access and wants to update an active
 theme, the lack of this feature makes it impossible without disrupting the
 site.
