Suggestion

Please bring back the old theme as an option, not as an editor, but as a “classic theme" for an out-of-the-box installation.

Use case

I'm still using 4.3.9 and I guess some people haven't updated either after what happened in 4.4.0, it would be nice to at least have the option to have the old theme back.

As it is now, I prefer to stay on the old version, but I would like to be up to date again.

Extra info/examples/attachments

I imagine you've probably been asked about this quite a few times, though since you haven't done this before, I'm not getting my hopes up, but I thought it was worth a shot to ask.
