 > How will that work when there are many theme locations, a dozen or so?
 Yes, that’s rare, but then it will look rather confusing, I guess.

 Note: This is just a proposed concept (something we'll test with a couple
 users).  If it flops in usability testing, we're back to square one.

 The theme location checkboxes will just stack on top of each other.  I
 would think a dozen would be '''extremely''' edge case.  My guess is that
 the majority of themes have 1-3 theme locations.  Thanks to Philip we have
 <a href="http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/29/menus-office-hours-
 recap-jan-28/#comment-7825">some data</a> to back that up (my guess is
 that this same pattern is found in most wp.org themes as well).

 I suppose we could add a hook in there, so theme devs could swap out the
 checkboxes for something else.  But I suspect that if you're using a theme
 with 12 theme locations, you're a step above the average user, and you can
 likely figure out what's going on.
