If theme updating becomes part of the WordPress core experience—like plugin updating did—and if the Most Popular list in the themes directory reflects downloads made through those updates: that’s a pretty decent resource for WordPress users looking for themes. Instead of a list of the most downloaded—and potentially discarded themes—we’ll have a list of the most used WordPress themes.
