 I was loading giving one of my sites a new theme as a New Year treat. It
 only seemed fitting to put on Twenty Sixteen. As this was a simple site, I
 wanted the single column. Unfortunately, loading up the theme brought a
 few issues as I suddenly found a lot of widgets I didn't want. For example
 the footer areas, they were filled with defaults I didn't want. Going in
 and removing each one took several steps as there were multiples.

 Whether you want defaults or not may be something the theme can decide,
 but offering a 'remove all widgets' button I think would be easy enough to
 add into the Customizer and a great enhancement for the minimalists.
