I think it would be best to support and to coordinate with what the UI team are doing, which means that we should rely on the big, obvious button in Extend, as well as the auto-parent-Theme-install in the WP-Admin backend.<div>

</div>Child themes in /extend automagically get a pretty blue button linking<br>
to their parent.<br>

Example: <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/mazeld" target="_blank">http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/mazeld</a><br>

<br>Going to back to child theme's description suggestion. Whatever works for the team, is good for me. Just thinking of the new users. But then, they could always post in the WP forums if they have any questions.<br>
