Comment:

 The `Tested Up to` value for Themes can't be relied upon, for historical
 reasons. Maybe in two years time when all themes in that timeframe have
 valid readme's (Except new updates today still don't).

 The original request here, for direct requests to a theme to bypass the
 limit seems reasonable still though.
