[theme-reviewers] Why can't theme authors have a second version of a theme?

[Zulfikar Nore]

Allowing Responsive II should retire Responsive from the repository.

Solution: Retire Responsive from the repository but continue its maintenance on your own site = no site is broken.
Get Responsive II in the repository and allow users to install it and replace Responsive = no site is broken.

Daniel,
Why don’t the admins “let it go” and let me name my own products with my own brands. :-p

Trent, let's be a bit more civil than that. The Foundation, Matt, and
those at Automattic have not done any such thing.

If Emil and the other admins want to change the rules, then nobody's
going
to stop them. I personally think it's a bad idea, and I'll say so, but
I'm
not going to use any form of veto power for something that is ultimately
so
silly.

When I want the rules to be changed, then I have to email those admins
and
convince them. Done it before.

The only time I've ever been really adamant about anything with regards
to
the review guidelines was on the security aspects. No using eval and
base64
and such. Things like that. Those are pretty obvious and sell themselves,
really. Those security things are the *only* thing I've ever pushed into
the guidelines (via theme-check) unilaterally.

My point was that talking to Emil and the other admins about it, in
ticket, is far from pointless. They do have the power to give you an
exception. They do have the power to change the guidelines. They do have
the power to ignore any or all of the guidelines based on their best
judgment. That's why they're the admins. I'm not going to stop them, nor
is
the Foundation, or Automattic. As for Matt, he likely doesn't have an
opinion on the matter either way and would probably have no issue with
it.

There is no need to be quite so extremely confrontational like this every
time you run into a minor disagreement. You don't need to convince me,
but
you probably could convince them.
