 When uploading a child theme, it intentionally ignores Theme Check errors,
 and allows the upload (even thought TC has said no). This is because many
 TC errors are not child-theme aware, and are not actually errors for a
 child theme at all.

 This however ends up with some submissions getting past theme check and
 into Trac that probably shouldn't, for example, the following seen on a
 recent ticket:

 > ERROR: "Theme Name Here" currently has 1,000+ active installations.
 Please check for name collisions outside of WordPress.org before approval.

 Making TC fully child-theme aware is probably a bigger task, but we can
 probably start to block on specific checks such as the active-install
 check.
