 For 5.6, the Twenty Twenty One theme will be added.
 Will one of the current bundled themes be removed?
 At one point, WP contained 4 themes, and the zip file was larger than it
 had been. I had trouble with installation due to timeouts, and I saw a few
 other reports of this in the forums.
 But which theme to remove?
 Do you choose the oldest or the largest or the one with the most bug
 reports?
 Removing the oldest results in 3 very similar looking themes.
 Removing the largest addresses the bundle size problem directly but leaves
 a gap in the sequence.
 Removing the buggiest improves the WP package (default theme is often used
 as a way to test user problems).
