We space our updates out by design. It makes it them easier to track changes, and manage. It's a healthy proactive project management strategy, not anything malicious.</div><div><br></div><div>We also maintain themes on <a href="http://wordpress.com">wordpress.com</a> which are also updated 3-4 times a month. Sometimes more before major WordPress releases.</div><div><br></div><div>This is normal.</div><div><br></div><div>This has also been debated before and the general consensus was always that 2-4 updates a month was normal for a lot of themes.</div><div><br></div><div>Why the drastic policy change announced late on Friday?</div><div><br></div><div>Plugin repo doesn't limit updates, why are themes any different?</div><div><br><div>--Trent Lapinski</div><div><a href="http://CyberChimps.com">CyberChimps.com</a></div>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Jul 25, 2014, at 3:27 PM, Emil Uzelac <<a href="mailto:emil@uzelac.me">emil@uzelac.me</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Folks,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
