This older article https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2018/03/08/theme-api-update/
says "Static themes, which only contain a manifest and image resources, will be
supported on addons.mozilla.org (AMO) early this year. These will replace
LightWeight Themes in a backward and forward compatible way."

Static themes are explained here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Themes/Theme_concepts#Static_themes

It seems support for them has been fully implemented less than a month ago:
https://github.com/mozilla/addons-frontend/projects/6 but maybe the Addons site
is still not ready to accept them.

Yet, I think we should remember the biggest issue: the previews are gone!
Nothing I've read indicated they will be coming back. I think this is a strong
point in favour of removing the feature completely.
