#23819: Twenty Thirteen: Handle activation on out of date WordPress installs
-------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  obenland     |       Type:  defect (bug)

  Version:  trunk        |   Severity:  normal

-------------------------+---------------------------
 Twenty Thirteen is meant to be not backwards compatible. Since we
 incorporate a lot of new functions and rely on markup changes that are
 introduced in 3.6, it really doesn't make sense to fail gracefully in a
 "slimmed down" version of the theme.

 While we probably get some code in place on the .org side to prevent
 Twenty Thirteen from being downloaded through the WordPress admin, nothing
 prevents people from downloading it from the theme repository and upload
 it to their site through the zip installer.

 We should be prepared to handle that in a better way than just failing
 with fatal errors.
