Because requestedTheme isn't a good name, and theme as a generic name has the potential for future expansion (to take an object, depending on how #3327 lands), I propose we do the above renaming.

"theme": "light"
"theme": "dark"
"theme": "system"
"theme": { "object, later"... }

In the future, we can seamlessly transition to a theme-enlightened world by introducing themes named "light", "dark" and "system" in whatever the theming system #3327 introduces evolves into.
