Comment:
Hi @thiagovelx, welcome to WordPress Core Trac.
The new default is intentional. If a user desires to use one of the other
themes, including fresh, they are welcome and invited to change it.
> This is especially problematic for client-managed sites and agency-
maintained WordPress installations, where the admin experience is expected
to remain visually stable after a routine update.
The WordPress admin will always evolve. It's not a single static UI. If
you want to set this expectations with your clients, I would encourage you
to be testing and building out shims for every release.
