<DIV> </DIV>Let me put it another way:
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If somebody previous to now, who was not you, had requested an entry for
"Responsive II", should we have honored that request, or pushed back on
it?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Basically, you're asking for special treatment here. You want us to say yes
to you, the current owner and maintainer of the "original" theme, but no to
everybody else. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is a rather bigger step than I think you're accounting for, honestly.
Do you want our theme reviewers making judgments based on trademarks and other
similarities like this as well?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Right now, the rule is that because "Responsive" exists, nobody gets to
make "Responsive Extended" or "Responsive NG" or "Responsive 1138". Do you
*really* want to open that can of worms?</DIV>
