 Themes that define HEADER_IMAGE = !'' as well as register multiple default
 images now default to random image rotation in 3.2. This can be very
 unexpected and produce poor results.  A theme that supports header images
 but defaults to text only probably has good reason to do so.  Showing
 images where before there were non can make text unreadable in themes that
 place text over the header image.   Perhaps defaulting to random should be
 opt-in.  Maybe an add_them_support() call.
