What works for you may not work for others, and won't work after the next upgrade.. There are places (like a computer I have at work) where the contents of the Gimp installation directories cannot be changed (no admin privileges). Gimp is setup to allow people to customize it as they want using their Gimp profile. No need to tinker with the installation.
Why you keep bugging with the same comment you did on gimpchat.com? I'm trying to help some user with their question and what you're doing is opposing to the things that I've done by experience and they are good.
And installing a GTK version that can conflict with the one coming with Gilp isn't a good idea.

I said to Delete these version, is because the default Themes are really dull. There should be more option than 2 or 4 Themes.
That doesn't technically justify their deletion. Other people may like them and just want a bigger font.

Except that you have to remember that you did it several months ago. Wait for some "Gimp destroyed my themes!" angry posts here an on GC.
TL;DR: There are plenty of themes for Gimp around, and a way to have them safely in the user's control, so why are you making things more complicated and risky than needed?
All I can tell you is that have done it myself and never had any issues.
