[theme-reviewers] Themes that do not have category, taxonomy archive

Tue May 21 00:33:10 UTC 2013 

category.php and taxonomy.php are not required. The WordPress template
hierarchy is designed so that if specialized templates like those are
not present, the index.php file will be used -- if you review the
Theme Review guidelines, you'll find the information about exactly
which templates are required there.

However, both Tags and Categories MUST be displayed with the post
they're associated with; this information is included in the Theme
Unit Test documentation.
