Hi Daniel!
Honestly we generally don't include any theme someone just comes up with into core.
...and that's very bad. I don't have the proper statistics about what themes are in use on the MediaWiki installation, but I saw a lot of MW-wikis, and remember none of them that use Modern, Chickpea, Cologneblue, Standard, Simple or Nostalgia skin. My personal opinion that this is because those skins looks too Web1.0-ish or ugly.
They look Web1.0-ish because they were built when web was at 1.0 ;).
Actually this skin looks a lot like nostalgia to me, compare: https://www.dur.ac.uk/nick.white/erudite-demo/mediawiki-current/index.php?title=Main_Page&useskin=nostalgia
