That is clearly wrong and needs to be fixed. config_local and config_distro
should be able to override anything in config.py.

But... why allow the themes to be updated or disabled at all? It's not like
a non-developer can add new ones, and it's not a security issue that an
administrator might need to control. In fact, it's arguably an
accessibility feature, for those whose eyes (like mine) last the day better
with a darker theme.

Let's remove it entirely please. I don't see any good reason to have any of
that in config.py.

Thanks.
