I'd like our bundled themes to support gettext, RTL, widgets, and
custom header images.  We need to set a good example of what themes
should be doing.  Not gettexting the default theme avoided some
support problems at the time, but it has created maintenance problems
with keeping the default up-to-date across all of the translations and
has spawned hundreds of themes that don't use gettext.
