 Replying to [comment:6 helen]:
 > I feel fairly certain there's a duplicate of this somewhere - I don't
 know that having the feature shown by default is the right thing to do
 (scary for users who don't know what it means), but maybe we could prompt
 or show some kind of message about creating a child theme or using
 something like a custom CSS plugin when somebody goes to edit theme files
 in the admin. We'd have to consider how you would detect a theme that
 isn't already a custom one, as then the prompt would just be annoying.

 Sorry for the duplication...I first tried to post this through the
 Alpha/Beta Support Forums, but closed out my entry and advised that I come
 back here. Then, I tried to edit my first two sentences here, and somehow
 things got duplicated.

 At any rate, if you don't feel comfortable with Default Core Child Theme
 integration, how about some sort of heavily required Style Sheet Standard
 Integration for All Theme Developers?
