I second Sayontan re this issue. I recall reading that Theme Check just 
scans the code. <br><br>If so, then can theme authors instead add a note in trac 
ticket generated upon submission of theme that such add_theme_support( custom-background ) REQUIRED error is due to 
backward compatibility provided by theme author and link to 
functions.php (or appropriate file) so reviewer can see conditional/s 
wrapped around the deprecated notice?<br><br>Mercime<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 28, 2012 at 10:14 AM, Sayontan Sinha <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:sayontan@gmail.com" target="_blank">sayontan@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
