May be the truth is that till now most of the theme authors didn't
bothered to follow what is new in WordPress releases. For instance I
had found deprecated elements since v.2.2. So what should we do in
such a case - to encourage the authors continue using them (and
depreciate your work on new versions); or leave the notes in review
that this elements need to be changed? <br>
BTW the pluggin <strong>Log Deprecated Notices </strong>is quite
handy for this purpose because it not only shows what is deprecated
but it gives an alternative what to be used instead. The bigger part
of authors accept these notes with understanding (based upon the
feedback in tickets) so I can't see the problem here. <br>

<div>Do you have *specific* examples of onerous or
unnecessary review requirements? Quite honestly, the
review queue remains steady at 60+ Themes. We don't have
time for navel-gazing. But if there are *specific*
requirements that need to be addressed, we're always up
for looking at them. (I've actually got a couple to bring
up myself, regarding the Theme Unit Tests.)</div>

<div>Yes. I've said previously on this list (in an email that
received no replies) that I do not believe that themes should
be rejected for notices and deprecated calls. This is coming
from the individual who implemented deprecated argument
handling, spent dozens of hours tracking down version numbers
for deprecated functions, preaches WP_DEBUG [0, 1, 2], and
wrote the logging plugin you use.</div>

<div>That's not to say that theme authors shouldn't be
encouraged to rectify notices on future theme submissions, or
that the tolerance level shouldn't go down on successive
submissions by that author. But it all depends on the notice,
and it all depends on the deprecated call. If notices and
deprecated calls cannot be properly evaluated for severity,
then they should not be evaluated at all.</div>
