Description

With total respect to the term "Classic themes", I think it feels old fashioned, which is a bit unfair to the power involved behind the scenes.

"Template Themes" (WPTT) would be a recognition of WordPress pioneering a long time ago.
A tribute to it's visionary approach at that time.

And a tribute to its relevance and pioneering today, where we see so many tools and solutions being created with the same intent but not so powerful - if some recognition and dedication would be implemented to maintain it a state of the art solution.

FSE is super powerful.
PHP templating is super powerful.

I recommend closing this because ideally, there should only be one name (theme), but over time both classic themes and block themes have become established terms.

'Classic' is well established as a term for the editor and then themes.

'Classic' can have good connotations, too, related to familiarity and reliability.
