Comment (by desrosj):

 Replying to [comment:14 desrosj]:
 > I think it's also worth mentioning that there is precedent here for
 using the `after_setup_theme` hook since the traditional `widgets` screen
 require `add_theme_support( 'widgets' );` and the historically accepted
 pattern there has been to use `after_setup_theme`.

 Oh actually I missed that this was already called out above but noted that
 it does not work. Today I
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 includes/theme.php?rev=49935#L2856 learned you cannot remove theme
 support] for `widgets`, `menus`, and `editor-style` in the same way you
 would other features.
