[theme-reviewers] Frequent Updates

[Trent Lapinski]

Hey Emil,

This is an extremely bad idea.

We are constantly fixing bugs, making improvements, and have a release schedule so we don't make too many changes at once. We space our updates out by design. It makes it  them easier to track changes, and manage. It's a healthy proactive project management strategy, not anything malicious.

We also maintain themes on wordpress.com which are also updated 3-4 times a month. Sometimes more before major WordPress releases.

This is normal.

This has also been debated before and the general consensus was always that 2-4 updates a month was normal for a lot of themes.

Why the drastic policy change announced late on Friday?

Plugin repo doesn't limit updates, why are themes any different?
