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

[Liane Blanco]

Can y'all clarify something for me re: names. I have submiited a new theme
called "Haunted" to the directory, which has not yet been reviewed. There
is another theme called "Haunted House" that I did not write. The two
themes are quite different in appearance and style. However, in my theme
trac page for Haunted, the list of previous versions pulls up "Haunted
House".

Should I change the name? I would rather not as it really fits the look of
the template, I don't think there's any way someone could confuse the two
themes. Thanks!
