Comment (by matveb):

 Thanks for the feedback!

 * Mostly a design constrain, but pretty much an arbitrary one at that. Is
 it worth having such a constrain? Displaying 10 screenshots will probably
 not look that great. Still, themes do a lot of different stuff, and some
 come with crazy amounts of color schemes... What would be a sensible thing
 to present to people choosing one, though? It's also easier to add more
 than to remove in the future. (Also slightly connected with loading stuff
 from the CDN or bundling with the theme.)
 * Yes. Downloading a bunch of retina screenshots that are not critical to
 a theme functionality could become too much of a burden. If we can figure
 out a way to elegantly load them from .org it'll probably help, and give
 us more flexibility in the long run to try more things (like header-to-
 footer screenshots).
 * If we can go PNG only for screenshot-2+ I'd say great :)
