[wp-testers] Default theme

Every time I need to create a theme for WordPress, I find one major
hurdle: the default theme. This theme is great for people who just
wants something basic for their site, but it's filled with extra junk
that's of no use for extending the theme.

I don't object to it being included, as I just said: it's useful to
beginners. I do object to it being the default, though -- it seems the
theme others will fall back on in an emergency should be more stripped
down.

So here's my thought: I say we ditch the "classic" theme (I've not
seen any sites using it in ages and I suppose it could always be a
seperate download), make "default" into "kubrick" (or whatever its
name would be), and create a new, stripped-down theme for "default."

What do you guys think?
