[theme-reviewers] 'flex-height' and 'flex-width' in custom header

[Qamar Ashraf]

I have reviewed the theme and according to my view (already explained in
the ticket),

- If the front end of theme does not support the flexible height of header
than what is its advantage ? Suppose a user uploads header of 940x350
dimension as the theme claims flexible header but it is useless as front
end does not support it.
