Comment (by costdev):

 > @exstheme Is there are potential problems may cause if this PR will be
 merged?

 I don't believe the PR will cause a bug, but we have other areas to
 consider:

 - Backwards compatibility: Every enhancement may introduce something that
 we can't just remove in future without potentially breaking websites.
 - Vision: We must ensure that an enhancement aligns with the original
 intention of a feature - in this case, block themes.

 This means that an enhancement must have a clear usage and it must be
 considered beneficial by the community. I don't feel that our three
 opinions are enough to make this determination for this particular
 enhancement, especially as we have not reached a conclusion with regards
 to difference of opinion. It is therefore preferable that we encourage
 others in the community to join the discussion to add more opinions and
 insight.
