I have no idea, to be honest. I generally ignore those time-related posts.

The unit test and checklist was written in 2008 by Noël Jackson, and I think in the time since many of the theme-related issues have been fixed in core WordPress, and can be safely removed from the checklist.

Items in the unit test that reflect core functionality:

- Future Post
- Category Name Clash
- Contributor post, approved
- GMT+10 test post / GMT test post / GMT-6 test post / Article in the distant past
- Draft Post
- Draft post with file attached
- Contributor post, pending approval

My opinion is that if these don't work correctly it'd be a core issue, not a theme issue. They can be removed from the unit test and the checklist.

I'll double check with Noël on this when Chip's changes are ready.
