We should have some alerting for core theme updates so that we can quickly apply those updates to dotcom. When we don't do this, users start getting concerned and asking questions. On atomic sites it shows that a theme update is available, but applying it won't work.
See PNEWy-cvG-p2 for how to perform the update
Before doing anything we should check whether this is necessary - if core themes are only updated with wp releases then we should already be well aware of the schedule.
