 - Twenty Seventeen should include a photo credit because it //bundles//
 Alvin Engler's
 [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Succulent_office_plants_(Unsplash).jpg
 Succulent office plants] image. Maybe the link could direct to Alvin's
 collection, instead of the specific photo, if that makes more sense. The
 image was published on Unsplash as of November 2015.
 - Twenty Sixteen's image credit includes a link to the author's Unsplash
 collection. I think that is fine to keep, though removing the entire
 credit would be consistent with [30867].
 [https://github.com/WordPress/twentysixteen/pull/320 PR 320 added] the
 credit in September 2015, but I did not find the image in
 [https://unsplash.com/@schmidy Austin Schmid's current collection].
