Comment (by Otto42):

 We have never turned on auto-updates for any theme. Ever. It seems way too
 dangerous. People modify their themes. Plugins tend to not be directly
 changed.

 This is just my opinion, updating themes directly loses any customizations
 they may have made to files in the theme folder. It's risky. Very, very
 risky.
