Bartik Theme Is Deprecated from Drupal 9, Removed from Drupal 10, Available in Contrib

"Bartik is deprecated in Drupal 9.5.0 and not included with Drupal 10. The default front end theme is now its modern replacement: Olivero. New installations of Drupal 10 install Olivero by default. If your existing site uses Bartik as-is, we recommend switching to Olivero."

Color Module Removed from Core

My take, removing things from core is almost always a positive.

Aggregator Module Is Removed from Core

Another positive for Drupal core. For those that use this functionality, the module has been moved to contrib.

Seven Theme Is Deprecated

"Drupal 10 includes the modern Claro administration theme. New installations of Drupal 10 install Claro by default. If your existing site uses Seven as-is, we suggest switching to Claro instead."
