I would have a use case for that keyword, though.
Say we reshuffle, which is not too difficult and end up with
<<anything in LATEX_CLASS_PRE>>
\documentclass[...]{beamer}
\usetheme{whatever}
OK? Now...
I have a couple of presentations where I needed to fix the geometry
*before* declaring the theme.
Or take the full process described in
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/54577/how-do-i-customize-beamer-template
They (and I) do insert stuff between documentclass and usetheme.
Therefore I don't think BEAMER_THEME_PRE is an overkill.
Best, /PA
