[theme-reviewers] Denied From Commercial List

[Slobodan Manic]

I agree with you. Less themes usually means more time spent on each one.

Standard Theme is there (rightfully), that's just one theme, and it's
great, so if that was the only reason for your theme shop being denied, I
don't think that's good.
