[theme-reviewers] Child themes discussion

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

I can tell you the most common issue with the get_stylesheet issue is people using it to call files that are *always* in the parent, like specfically the ie6.css file has been the most apparent one, has to be get_template_ on those

  get_stylesheet_ - child check first, then parent

  get_template_  - parent only

    IIRC (just heading out the door) ... 

    _template_ calls the parent (first, or current) whereas _stylesheet_ calls current (first?) only

        ok, so what about a check for get_template_(uri|directory) and if found
        tell the user his theme will not support child themes
