Description

Theme export fields like tags are mostly relevant when distributing the theme on the WP themes repo, less so when using the theme on a single site.

We could add a choice at the top of the export screen if the theme will be distributed, or not, and alter the theme export input choices accordingly.

Research direction

Start at the theme export screen and review the existing export input choices, especially fields such as tags. Define how the distributed and single-site choices should change those inputs, then verify that each export mode produces the intended result.
