[theme-reviewers] Spammy theme?

[Justin Tadlock]

We've had this discussion before, so I'll say what I said before.  I'm 
all for it so long as there's actually a need for an update on the theme 
side of things (e.g., nav menus, comment form, etc.).  Just keep in mind 
that not all WP releases have things that need to be addressed in themes.

WP 2.9 is a generous cutoff date because we've had loads of theme 
features added to core WP since then.  WP 3.0 wouldn't be too much of a 
stretch.
