Comment(by JohnMyr):

 Since better support for parent/child themes is implemented in WP since
 the theme repository was launched, and theme frameworks are the most (not
 featured) downloaded themes, maybe the repository should embrace the
 framework innovation by listing frameworks in a new list together with
 normal themes. Theres a lot of GPL theme frameworks in the making, and if
 its not technically possible to make one solution for both normal themes
 and frameworks/child themes, there should be two solutions. Maybe its
 possible to cut down from 15 to 10 featured and popular themes in wp.org,
 and include a new featured and popular listing with 5 frameworks. An
 enhancement for theme-install.php would be needed to. If its not possible
 to have one good solution, maybe its better to have two good solutions.
