BIGGEST idea
about that the
don’t-worry-about-it
group’s main
objective is
to make the
theme review
process easier
and faster to
get through.
The biggest
thing that
people get
hung up on
returning day
after day to
review themes
is how time
consuming they
are to go
through. We
also believe
that it’s not
the theme
review team’s
responsibility
to control
that aspect of
allowing a
theme to have
a feature or
not, that is
up to the core
dev’s to make
that
determination.</span></p>

disagree that
what you're
suggesting
would make
Theme reviews
easier. Why
would a Theme
review be
easier if the
Theme can
include any
manner of
arbitrary
functionality?
Allowing
functionality
that goes
beyond
presentation
of user
content just
means that
much more code
that a
reviewer has
to review,
understand,
and test. </span></p>
