 1. If the current theme is broken or does not exist, WordPress doesn’t
 apply automatically another theme until someone will visit “Themes” in
 admin and are not sending the notification to Administration Email Address
 either. So, the site owner could have no idea that something is wrong.

 2. If someone is visiting the Dashboard, there is no information that
 something is wrong with the theme, even if the frontend isn’t working
 normally already.

 3. The message “The active theme is broken. Reverting to the default
 theme.” is marked green. Possibly it needs to be splitted into two
 messages - error and warning.

 4. If there is an Error “Stylesheet is missing.”, the message “The active
 theme is broken. Reverting to the default theme.” is also present above
 the error, but actually is nothing happening (it’s good behaviour in
 comparison to what was previously when a site could have been working fine
 without style.css and was deactivating a theme after you visit Themes in
 the admin). https://yadi.sk/i/FtWLhEyBLx2qSQ So, the second message is
 misleading and needs to be removed in the case where the reverting isn't
 happening.
