<DIV>I’m in total agreement with Trent on this. .. it’s branding, by the
same developers of the first one, is there a system (backend code wise) problem
that can’t handle relative-names or something?</DIV>

<DIV>We are trying to release Responsive 2.0, and after a year of development
and months of debating how to release it we’re now being told we cannot have two
themes with the same name.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We’ve changed the backend infrastructure of the grid for the new version,
so releasing 2.0 on the same repo as 1.0 would break potentially tens of
millions of websites. A simple solution is to release Responsive 2.0 as
“Responsive II” but apparently that is not allowed? </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We’re now being told the only way we can release Responsive II is to retire
Responsive 1? Which is ridiculous. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would like to formerly request a reconsideration of this rule, I see no
logical reason for why the same theme author cannot release multiple themes
under the same name. I’m not requesting to use someone else’s name here, I’m
requesting to be able to release the next version of my theme without breaking
millions of people’s websites.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you.</DIV>
