Comment:

 The steps listed in [comment:139] remain my preferred approach to moving
 forward here. Let's get what was in back in and fix the obvious bugs.
 Then, we can gather more specific feedback about what's broken with that
 UX and iterate, along with making broader changes to the process of
 finding a theme, cleaning up the theme tags for improved usability (cc
 @greenshady), and making any necessary .org API changes (cc @folletto).

 @virgodesign at this point it would be great if you could test the
 approach that was in 4.7 beta 1 (or even the earlier patches here with the
 first design iteration) as a lot of your ideas are used there. Once we
 have something back in trunk it will be easier to implement design
 improvements and rethink it, but there are too many technical challenges
 to continue making design iterations in complete patches against what's in
 4.7. We can also start the design process fresh in a new ticket and with
 additional user research and testing to build off of what's been done
 already.
