That makes a grand total of two sites that ever needed it - Crip and smfthemes.org.
The only thing is, it's only one more byte in the themes table, but that's one more byte for every row - and it's potentially a lot of rows, seeing how that's user preferences, theme options, custom field values - and it all adds up.

I'm just glad I'm not the one who has to update 255 themes.

I've only got to 38*, and that's after years of being a bit nutty about themes.
*Meaning the site is up to id=38.

My 2c: nobody apart from a nutter running a theme demo site will ever hit this limit, therefore it can be dealt with by anyone who needs to deal with it. It doesn't really need to be sorted by default.

mmm...what about make the column not autoincrement?
The drawback would be that a theme may ends up into another theme's id if not dealt with carefully, that in general may be annoying, but not so terrible (i.e. in the worst case a wrong setting, but no security issues).
It would be a bit of a pain, though, and in general I don't know how much worth the hassle...
Exterminated?

Hmm, move to exterminated then, personally, I agree 256 themes are enough xD
