[theme-reviewers] Latest Featured Themes, seriously?

[Trent Lapinski]

Is anyone else disappointed to see that the theme review contest was ended for a list of commercial theme shops with close ties to Automattic, personal friends, and employees of Audrey Capital (Matt Mullenweg’s personal investment company)?

The Theme Foundry (one of Automattic’s earliest theme partners), Justin Tadlock (a WordPress.org admin), Sarah Gooding (a blogger for Audrey Capital), TeslaThemes (http://wptavern.com/teslathemes-celebrates-one-year-of-being-in-business), and Themeify (a major commercial theme shops first theme on WordPress.org) were all just gifted featured themes on WordPress.org.

So what exactly is the criteria for being featured now?
