@bradweikel, thanks for helping to improve Drupal!
I don't know when it was introduced to themes but theme can use 'hidden' in their info.yml file.
Therefore. closing this as outdated.
During the "Drupal Design Round Table" episode of the Lullabot Podcast (http://www.lullabot.com/audiocast/podcast-74-drupal-design-round-table), there was some discussion of how contrib theme authors should put comments in their themes discouraging hacking of the theme and encouraging themers to create sub-themes instead.
This would be particularly helpful for starter themes like Zen and Blueprint. However, it occurred to me that these starter themes could also benefit from a programmatic solution, because they are themes that should NEVER be used directly, whether in hacked or original form. They should only be the base theme used for a sub-theme.
So, my idea: Add a theme setting (for theme .info files) that allows a theme to be designated as a starter theme only, and disables it in the interface at /admin/build/themes/select, while also providing some help text. See the attached image for a mock up.
The .info setting could be something like "type = abstract" or anything along those lines.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
