I strongly agree. All of the changes mentioned in these legibility
threads could be accomplished through theming and Elpa/Melpa packages
one could recommend to new users who easier ways to add variable pitch,
unobtrusive markup, etc. It would be trivial to point a new user to
install them through the package manager. It would be a bad precedent to
add idiosyncratic customization options to cater to personal aesthetic
preferences. As Adam says, everyone's theming preferences are personal,
and they are best addressed through add-on themes and packages.
