Personally I'm not adverse to this switch even though I've not used
the dark theme much,
but as devils advocate a few questions arise.
a. How will you make Pharo 7/8/9/etc visually distinct?
a1. *cough* Switch back to white theme?
a2. How much visual distinction is required?
a3. Would it be easier to continually alter...
background Pharo logo
background colour / pattern
titlebar icons, font, colour
b. What are the considerations of effect on documentation?
b1. PBE
b2. mooc
c. Will this have adequate testing?
c1. Its a late change with significant impact to first impressions
c2. I understand that some people have been using it a lot,
but they may have narrow environments. For example,
enabling the Dark theme, on my laptop with brightness turned down,
I find it disconcerting that I can't distinguish where
title bars run into each other.

P.S. I'm travelling so I can't work on this myself for a few days.
