I think the idea is that it helps discourage new uptake, since it is on 
its way to eventual removal.  Keep in mind that those who have it already 
merged along with their favorite theme can keep them in overlay, so 
removing the themes from the tree simply keeps new users from merging 
something that's already on its way out, only to have to deal with its 
removal relatively soon (months?) thereafter.
