If I understand correctly the recent discussions, one of the main goals
is to make Emacs more accessible to newcomers. In this respect, are we
sure that using the "theme" concept, associated (outside the Emacs
world) with customizing how applications looks, to configure the
application behavior is a good idea?

Reportedly, one of the things that newcomers struggle with is the
peculiar and unique jargon used to describe Emacs concepts. This would
add one more. I think the concept of "mode" as something that changes
application behavior is well established and easier to explain.
