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

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

Hey Trent .. I offer my services to make it backwards compatible so your old users won’t lose out and new users will have the new stuff of it immediately, after what I had to deal with; with my other themes I’ think I’m a bit of a go-to guy on that sort of thing now.

Daniel, 

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

  After watching this fight I felt like telling trent to listen to the
  song "let it go" from the movie frozen :)

        The TRT has been over ruled by the WordPress Foundation, Matt himself,
        and has been greatly influenced by Automattic and Audrey Capitol.



      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.
