b) and c) do not rule out each other, indeed:
we could have c) as an optional entry which defaults to oxygen which would be the \
"default fallback" option.

To me this seems the sanest option, since many themes around, being incomplete as \
Nuno said, rely on the fact that they are fallbacked by oxygen. By doing this we \
would at the same time easily allow people to write new themes falling back to air or \
future "predefined" themes.
