[theme-reviewers] External Auto update feature

[Harish]

I am reviewing a theme that uses some kind of framework, and also has an
external Update script connector (http://wp-updates.com/).
http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/facade/1.0/api/classes/wp-updates/wp-updates
-theme.php

 

The auto update script is included in the theme but not activated. To
activate it, below needs to be added to the functions.php:

 

add_theme_support('auto-update');

 

 

The theme developers can simply ask its users to add this to function.php in
future and all the updates will take outside of WP repository. 

 

 

Can I have your opinion on this? 

 

 

Regards,

Harish
