[theme-reviewers] Themes and Post Meta/Custom Fields

[Chip Bennett]

I just ran into another one, thanks to a Theme that outputs all of a post's
custom field keys/values as post meta data: apparently, some Themes are
adding custom fields to posts.

Should there be some guidance here? Specifically, should Themes be adding
meta information/custom field keys/values to existing posts without user
knowledge?

In my case, one Theme added various default Thumbnail images as custom
fields, and another Theme added a "superawesome" custom field key (with a
value of "false").
