We have had this deprecated theme channel for a while now, and it should be removed.
It's quite a simple task since nothing should be depending on it anymore, but it does involve some "housekeeping" task of checking whether there's any leftovers, renaming the new CHANNEL, and checking libraries that might depend on it still.

We should probably just do this in one sweep while moving to the new context API, otherwise we end up breaking the ecosystem twice. Ref #1459
Hey @kitten @mxstbr! Should I give it a try and remove ThemeProvider channel or the changes will be made alongwith the new context API itself?
Closing this since we now have moved to the new context API #1894
