[theme-reviewers] Updating Custom Backgrounds and Custom Headers for WordPress 3.4

[Chip Bennett]

I don't understand the leaning toward not using arguments? If the issue is
Child Theme-related, I must disagree with the conclusion. Child Theme
impact must be considered, of course - but that consideration should not
dictate completely. Why deny Theme developers the ability easily to declare
default background color, image, and style simply because Child Themes may
not play quite as nicely with the 3.4-style implementation?
