Comment (by greenshady):

 > This is a possible regression - how likely is it that a block theme's
 templates/index.html would be empty or have no single blocks/template
 parts? - Genuine question.

 I am actually building a one-page theme and using `front-page.html` for
 the main/only template, which I thought made the most sense in this case.
 Currently, I have an `index.html` with the Post Content block in it for
 testing, but I had considered making this an empty template altogether.
 The reason I even have an `index.html` template there is because it is
 necessary to "register" it as a block theme with WP.

 So, it's at least something I've thought about and a good question.  It's
 not released yet, so I'll wait for this ticket to run its course before
 making any final decisions.

 Ideally, we'd also have a `"isBlockTheme":true` flag in `theme.json` to
 specifically enable it instead of running file checks.
