[theme-reviewers] Child themes discussion

[Chip Bennett]

Right... but I don't think it is true that the Child Theme will *always*
want to call its own files.

Or, is the issue that, if the Parent Theme uses get_stylesheet_, it will
*prevent* the Child Theme from calling the Parent Theme's resources?

So, are we saying that for Themes that are *intended* to be Child-Theme
ready, they must use get_template_, rather than get_stylesheet_, in all
instances?
