other breaking changes we will just do a 3.0 when that happens.  It makes
sense to me to bundle default color changes as one set of breaking changes
and code API changes as another.

I thought there was going to be a complete overhaul of the default theme?
Has that idea been abandoned?

Do either of these mean that it will be possible to use the OO interface
without needing to go through pyplot?
