I'm too looking for a way to remove all of the post meta for all
posts when the user decides to uninstall the theme and removes
all of the theme's data. Any suggestion?<br>

<div>I think the ones that we can certainly implement as
consistent with existing guidelines are #1 and #2.<br>

<div>Any suggestion for such an automated way to remove such

I'm ok with the idea of themes adding post meta if they:<br>
1. document it's function and purpose in theme docs,
read-me, and/or options/settings page.<br>
2. prepend the post meta with the theme slug like identifier<br>
3. offer an automated way to remove the post meta should the
user desire removal or to reset it.<br>
