### AI overview

WordPress has proposed Ipsum as the default theme for WordPress 7.2, replacing the year-based Twenty Something naming convention. The deliberately minimal theme is designed as a customizable blogging canvas, while the more expressive Mētis theme will remain separate and will not ship with the release.

### Source excerpt

After 16 years, WordPress just killed one of its most recognizable traditions. The predictable "Twenty Something" default themes are history, and their replacement, Ipsum, signals a surprisingly different vision for what WordPress thinks a modern website should start with.
