[theme-reviewers] Drop-in code library and public namespace

[Edward Caissie]

The premise behind the namespace guidelines are to help insure a few
things, one being theme uniqueness.
In this case, given the "drop-in" and the theme are by the same
author, the issue of namespace clashing should be moot.

I would be able to accept this namespace difference, perhaps adding a
note to the theme's documentation explaining the difference /
relevance would be helpful.

Also, as noted by @Daniel, this issue has already been addressed and
"drop-in" libraries are fine to use, especially since this one appears
to use a unique prefix as its namespace.
