Going back to the original poster's question - the issue stems from my understanding or in this case misunderstanding that custom post types are required to be placed in a plugin. I will change my review to reflect that it should be a recommendation.<div>
<br></div><div>As a reviewer my concern is more than just the inclusion of custom post types - what about custom post meta being implemented by different themes? That is also something that may or may not work when a user switches themes.</div>

decently presented use case for the CPT is given and it is documented to
the end-user then it will become the end-user's choice to use the theme.<br>IF the theme author also wants to write a plugin to match that functionality for the end-user to use if they choose to change to a theme that does not support that particular CPT then I think they are going above and beyond the support of their theme.<br>
