What is the rationale of this? They are part of GNOME upstream, so
both upstream and users would get pretty angry about it (and upstream
already explicitly expressed that). Upstream did remove some crufty
themes a while ago, and said that they will not remove any of the
current ones anytime soon. We have 8 themes by default, that's not too
much for the dialog either IMHO.
