Description

When we download WordPress project, from https://wordpress.org/latest.zip. The zip files include three default themes by default in the wp-content/themes/ folder. Why should those three of three themes is required and pushed with every downlaod? Only default theme, latest one i.e. "Twentyfifteen" must be included.

This will make download a bit smaller and faster to upload the whole codebase while exchanging between servers.

Hello nitroxis, thanks for this suggestion. The download size for a full package shouldn't really matter, since you're doing it only once (per site).

We already had a similiar discussion in #27084. All the default themes are unique/different/interesting/specific and gives new users a nice set.

So I'm closing this one as a duplicate of #27084. You should also take a look at #31948 if you don't need the wp-content directory.
