<div>Congratulations on earning a living in this. There are upwards
of the several millions of WordPress users in the world and there are a handful
of posts on the forums, less then that. This is not an issue that
necessitates a requirement.</div>

<div>Having the core team make the ‘discussion’ tab in the screen options on by
default would alleviate most emails I get; must get at least 20 a week
from that – when it first was changed I got hundreds.</div>

<div>I assume this is you dane? <a title="http://danemorganmedia.com/" href="http://danemorganmedia.com/" target="_blank">http://danemorganmedia.com/</a> nice
site. Or maybe your blogspot site that was updated last in
2010? Or is it Rebel where you get your jobs from?
.. a company that offers SEO, fun – at least it’s not spamming it.</div>

This you as well? you answered or commented on 11 posts and nothing
recent; help me out here – what do you know of the forum and the questions asked
there?</div>

<div>Me? I get asked to conventions to speak. I have more then
a dozen celebrity sites which includes a comic for Shaq <a title="http://hoopfighter.com/" href="http://hoopfighter.com/" target="_blank">http://hoopfighter.com/</a> amongst
them. Tens of thousands of sites use my
themes. I have a B/S business, MS in I/O Psychology from
SDSU (was business organizational back then) – I have worked for fortune 50
companies streamlining their services and allowing them to provide more for
their products with less overhead; Until I got cancer and had half
of my lung removed. Now I work with WordPress.</div>

<div>Give me a break. There is no good reason to make it a
requirement for previous themes that have anything of a feature that are being
said that should currently not be allowed. There isn’t an
‘epidemic’ or a continuous problem. It’s all made up to make it
sound like it’s worse then it is.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Emil wrote some good points, make it a recommendation for previous repo
themes and required for new. This is not a problem; most everyone is
going to remove it including myself within due time – but to make it a strict
requirement for all is based on falsehoods and egoist attitudes and I foresee
the problems will be a hundred fold for end users who then ask why isn’t google
updating? when they used to the analytics code it in their
theme. So ya know? end users yeah, them, why don’t you show
how you give a care about them ya. You say you do but you don’t.</div>

<div>Also I just checked the forums again, in the last 6 years there were less
then a handful total and none of them were due to shortcodes or plugin content
that one theme had that another didn’t, although there was one was a custom
post type issue but was easily explained and the end user got it working
almost immediately. If you know of any specific ones, please speak
up.</div>
