I'm actually proposing something much more simpler:<br><br><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">The
oldest version that may be currently supported is 3.2; although it is
strongly recommended the oldest version currently supported be 3.3.<br>
</blockquote><br>Leave out the relativity of the version ... just simply state what the versions are.<br><br><br clear="all">Cais.<br>

Hi folks
<div><br></div><div>I personally find the previous and current wording ambiguous/unclear. Too many negatives and easily taking out of context. Apologies for stirring things up, but would this wording help (be acceptable):</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>- Themes must not provide backward compatibility for out-of-date versions of WordPress. </div><div> = This includes the use of conditional function_exists() wrappers.</div><div> = Versions are considered out of date if they are 3 versions (or more) behind the current version. The current version is 3.4 which means version 3.1 is out of date.</div>
<div>- Theme should not support backward compatibility for the version which will become out of date with the next release. Avoid supporting version 3.2 as it will soon become out of date.</div></div><div><br></div><div>
It's easier to track back the meaning of the words? </div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
