[theme-reviewers] Requesting reconsideration of Pronto theme forwordpress

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

Hi Cedric, it's been discussed in the theme review channel and we're going 
to do a full code review on it, which will of course take some time because 
of the complexity of the theme.

If for any reason that even the most minor of WordPress hook or function 
cannot be utilized with this theme it will continue to be failed.   While 
the theory of this theme is sound, the end result practicality of it's 
methodology leaves somewhat to be desired.

For now, consider your theme failed because of this:

'<meta name="generator" content="WordPress" />'."\n".

WordPress already creates the generator code., shouldn't have it recreating 
another of it.


NOTE: I can tell right now by looking at cjl/pronto/pronto.php it would not 
pass theme review.
