Right. New features often come with a component of infrastruture and

Emacs has always had this "problem" which is brought about by the huge
flexibility that Elisp affords. But those kitchen-sink developments
don't always integrate cleanly into Emacs for various reasons (from
legal to technical).
Custom themes can be used to tweak aspects _already_ in Emacs, and doing
the latter would make long strides towards newcomer-friendliness, I
think (and I also think we've all kind of agreed on that, bringing us to
the "defaults" argument").
Anyway, my impression is that, custom themes don't seem to be used
effectively, except to customize colors. Maybe they're not powerful
enough? They do seem to have features that are extremely desirable
here, such as ease of distribution, ease of composition and
human-readability (for non-programmers).
