Disconnect headers and footers from themes

Now when we have the Layout builder we can layout our headers and footers ourselves in a theme agnostic way.

Varous ifferent header regions like "Header", "Primary Menu", "Secondary Menu" and "Search" and various various footer regions like "Footer Top" and "Footer Bottom" are becoming redundant because we can use the Layout Builder to layout just one single Header region and just one single Footer region with any block we choose and these regions can be theme agnostic or disconnected from any theme.

  • Drupal menus will become mobile only (vertical) or responsive (horizontal-vertical) by user choose per each menu, hence menus will also be theme agnostic.
  • Drupal themes will effect only the middle part of a webpage (the one that comes between a header and footer) and thus would be extremely simpler to create, maintain and override from a sub theme and themers could focus on the more important aspect of theming which is basic page layout and design and especially margins, typography, readability, acceesibility, etc.

Drupal theming will become extremely easier and more people will contribute themes for Drupal !
