 > Beyond what I commented on that ticket, I don't see how this will help
 the situation. It seems like your proposing creating theme-specific sets
 of widgets, where each theme has its own parallel universe of widgets. The
 problem were are trying to solve here is how to teleport widgets between
 the theme multiverse, not introduce the need to maintain a multiverse of
 widget doppelgangers.

 If you look in the recent default theme: "Twenty Seventeen" you can find
 out that this theme have theme-specific sets of widgets settings, so this
 is not something new, you can check by yourself when you make a theme
 preview of this theme... a you find that some widgets are loaded with text
 in the specific sidebars.

 I, of course like this idea and I am looking further in this direction as
 it need a lot of improvements.
