 > I would say the inconsistency is not necessarily in the counter
 placement, but rather in that the network admin menu does not have an
 Appearance item, and has the Themes item at the root level instead.
 Currently, both menus have the counter next to Themes item, which seems
 consistent enough to me.

 You are absolutely right. This eliminates point 2. Still thinking about
 point 1 though ...


 > As experienced users, we know that under the Appearance menu only themes
 support updates, but for those who don't have a lot of experience yet, I
 think it might be confusing as to what the counter next to the Appearance
 menu item is supposed to mean, and what they are supposed to do to remove
 it.

 Yes, this makes sense, too. And showing the badge on both items seems
 weird.

 > I would suggest bringing up the ticket at one of the
 [https://make.wordpress.org/meetings/ Design team meetings] to see how
 others feel about the counter placement, and we can iterate on it with
 more feedback :)

 It is not easy for me to attend those meetings. I've added the "needs-
 design-feedback" and the "2nd-opinion" tag to open the discussion a bit
 more.

 Would be great to get some more voices. Maybe I am overthinking this here
 😅

 I am totally fine with keeping it on the "Themes" item. Just want to be
 sure that this decision is based on a good foundation.
