Comment (by Harm10):

 I am really astounded that such a good and simple idea is still not
 realized after 7 years!
 Does no one realize that such a feature would greatly increase the update
 safety?

 For the important plug-ins I use, I always read the changelog before
 updating. The same should at least be valid for the active theme!

 For example theme Enigma that recently changed its structure because of
 new (or enforced) Home setting rules lead to my site having several
 features no longer working and even more important a totally jumbled up
 Home page (the first impression of your site). This got corrected in the
 end but I had to revert the update for a while there.

 I understand that due to structure differences in the way the plug-ins and
 themes are saved on WP org that this is not as easy to implement as it
 feels.

 But surely WP this would also offer serious theme makers the opportunity
 to offer their product in a safer way and as such leading to less support
 questions?
