Subject: bug#46964: [ELPA]: [PATCH] Replace modus-*-theme with modus-themes from :core
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2021 22:07:51 -0500

>> I suggest a 3 step process:
>>
>> 1- Add the new `modus-themes` GNU ELPA package.
>> 2- Update the `modus-*-theme`(s) by replacing them with placeholders
>>    (labeled as obsolete) that depend on `modus-themes`.
>> 3- Remove the old `modus-*-theme`(s) packages.
>>
>> There's no hurry between each step, and we could wait a year or two
>> before taking step 3.
>>
>> We could even have a step 2½ which replaces the `modus-*-theme`(s) with
>> packages which remove themselves after installation, so upgrading the
>> package would remove it ;-)
>
> I think the upgrade process should also remove other installed theme
> packages ;).

You got my vote,


        Stefan
