Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Just stumbled upon this again.

 Since the 2-year search limit does not exist in the new Plugin Directory,
 perhaps now is the time to remove it from the Theme Directory as well?

 Switching the banner to mention the latest 3 major WordPress releases
 instead of the arbitrary 2 years check (#3010) might also be a good idea,
 but it looks like themes don't have a `Tested up to:` field (or a
 standardized `readme.txt` file at all), so that's something for another
 time.
