 As a user, it's very frustrating to search for themes in the directory,
 find one that you like, and then discover that many of the features are
 locked.

 For example:

 Searching for an appropriate theme for your website is a time-consuming
 task. If you're looking for a free theme, the you're looking for a free
 theme. A user finds a theme they like, installs it and discovers that they
 need to pay: this wastes the user's time. It undermines their confidence
 in the theme directory as a free theme repository as opposed to a freemium
 repository made for upselling.

 Having a filter like 'Exclude themes with pro versions' would at least
 allow users to get around this.
