[theme-reviewers] DMS Update.

[Bryan Hadaway]

Hey Simon,

That's great to hear. I think we'll happily welcome DMS once the PageLines
model is improved because as you seem to now understand, while everyone
perhaps cannot agree on the exact issues, that they do indeed exist.

For the record, I did raise these issues directly in-ticket before DMS was
even approved:

https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14369#comment:5

And while most of the community and highly respected admin Chip all agreed
that the issues I was raising had legitimacy, enough people chose to
consciously ignore them and write them off as wrong or just personal when
in fact as a fellow theme reviewer, all I was trying to do was help. And
that's why this became such an unnecessary mess.

I should add that this issue is much bigger than PageLines and is an open,
public discussion for the whole community about the precedent itself, not
something to be emailed privately about. This is something we should all be
knowledgeable of and learn from.

I think everything that could possibly be discussed on the issue has
already been exhausted anyways, it's really just a matter of waiting for
the admins to let us know what the decision is regarding WP policy. Again,
they're not making a decision about PageLines directly, but the precedent
itself. From there, it will depend on whatever they decide to how that will
effect DMS and other themes that might fall under the same issues.

Thanks, Bryan
