Changing to "Opinion", there is no "blaming" other people but explaining
who made the decision, Ubuntu doesn't plan to add the option over what
was done in Oneiric (which is adding a combo allowing to select one of
the supported themes), you are free to not upgrade your distribution
though that's not a very constructive behaviour you have there, if you
care about installing theme just pick a software doing that, install it
(gnome-tweak-tools for example) and move on

** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Opinion

Title:
  No easy way to change theme

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  In ubuntu 11.04 there's an application called "Apeareance" that helps to change the theme, icons, cursors, etc..
  But in 11.10 the application doesn't exists.
  There is an application called "Gnome Tweak Tool" but it depends of Gnome Shell, and it's not user friendly
  I think the fix for this is an Unity Theme Engine, making easier to users and developers to get, install and change a theme.
  For example, a Dash with themes, a package file for install it (including gtk3 theme, icons, wallpaper, unity dash icons, panel colors, backlight modifications, etc...)
