@vanilla/theme-core

Vanilla's theming system is undergoing some major renovations! In this release the first parts of this are in progress.

Create a new shared local package, @vanilla/theme-core. This contains all many SCSS partials that were previously part of keystone or theme-boilerplate.
Themes may now be put into the /addons/themes directory. This directory supports any theme, but is particularly useful for themes that required access to local packages.
keystone, theme-boilerplate, and the upcoming theme-foundation now make use of a shared local package @vanilla/theme-core. They have been moved into the /addons/themes directory.
A new CLI command has been added to scaffold a new theme based on @vanilla/theme-core. In the root of your installation run yarn scaffold theme --help for more information.
