Comment (by nacin):

 I would agree with Jane, but I've also seen situations where this could
 affect users very badly. For example, Headway and Thesis both key their
 theme directories by version. (thesis_18, headway_20, etc.) This then
 allows users to upload the zip of the new theme and activate it. It
 doesn't make the best user experience, because you end up with 15 themes
 on themes.php that are all the same. And it doesn't make the best
 developer or security experience, because Headway had to write code to
 recurse through all of their previous directories to remove Timthumb. But,
 I could see how this could affect users who are already stuck in
 situations like these.
