Its understandable that older themes are taken out. They are not maintained actively and are frankly, pretty old-fashion compared to todays web looks. 

Its very convenient to have more than one choice though - thats there right away - like variants for example. The variants should be more elaborate though, so actually including can show the true power of the theme-system. Since they are not, it makes sense to just have the default theme in.

For moving forward>> I'm all for this!

looking back to update or upgrade older things, is as mentioned or hinted above, may possibly be taking time away from "the here and now" and moving on>>

I do believe there could be at some point and option to select another theme or 2,  this is something you may want consider putting to the challenge of the many here with theme Ideas, (let them hash it out and present their finished project up for vote!)  rather than take this on, unless, it helps move the development of SMF forward.

I as mentioned in another post I like the direction of the 2.1 version theme, and SMF it's self, however there are other things that can or maybe be done, In the opinion of others. They or we should dedicate our time on these things, I'm certain that Bloc and some others can come up with way to or for the user's to select various opinions to their liking ( on the themes ), while the SMF team may more concentrate on the stability if needed and bugs if any pop up, and working toward the Beta!

my question would be, and I am toying with is the default them versatile enough? and this I and probably others are working on. So far I'm happy!

regards,
Maxx
