Comment (by joyously):

 > This remains a desirable change from a simplicity and consistency
 standpoint.

 I don't agree that it is desirable to remove an option that's been there
 forever. It's not broken, so why mess with it? It doesn't hurt anything to
 remain, as useful as we variously find it. We all have different ways to
 use WP. For a site that is a community, it doesn't make sense for logged
 in users with no capabilities to have to see the admin bar. But users
 should still be able to choose it, if they need it.

 >  I have not seen themes that require the toolbar to be disabled for
 several years.

 There is still a requirement for themes in the WP repository that the
 theme does not hide or change the admin bar. But most themes now do adjust
 their styles to work with it both on or off (or they are encourage to
 during their review).
