[theme-reviewers] Is Blog.php is allowed in theme?

Sat Jul 5 14:40:16 UTC 2014

I'm not sure I follow. Why would you need the blog posts index
query/context/template not be able to identify itself as such (is_home())?

The *blog* is the blog posts index, which should be rendered using the Home
Template Hierarchy. When settings are configured properly (i.e. as defined
by core), then a blog.php (i.e. a custom page template to render the blog
posts index) is pointless. It will never get used, unless the Theme
instructs the user to use a configuration other than the one defined by
core. I really can't think of a valid use, ever, for blog.php.

Post loops *other* than the blog posts index would use other templates.
