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

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

I’m seeing a can, no worms in it. 

I believe it’s up to the heads to make those decisions and address them as they come in.   Until then it’s keep up the good thing we’re doing while volunteering to help get those themes up onto the repository.

..and now.. I dance.

and don't worry if anyone else decide to submit the name "Responsive Mobile". I got several other name:
"Responsive Z", "Responsive XYZ", or maybe "Responsive 101".

if Cyberchimp can use the name "Responsive X" or "Responsive..." then anyone should be able to do the same, right?
because theme author/owner can transfer theme to other person/user.
that means there should not be a special case to a company/user.
because a week later(read: arbitrary time) the can decide to sell the theme and the name to someone else. 
(like in Responsive).

note:
I think this is the "can of worms" otto mention in email.

    Okay, thank you everyone who participated in debating the issue.


    We'll come up with a new name "Responsive X" - "X" representing a word that doesn't conflict with the current naming scheme.


    We can consider the issue resolved and closed, at least for our specific ticket.
