 eliminate the need to do any CSS changes and let the user drag and drop
 the logo to its proper location to get it proper location. Then of course
 the question is how do you handle cases like positioning the logo in the
 middle of the width of the site, something that is actually much easier to
 do with CSS then manually.

 this case. Jetpack has it for feature parity with wordpress.com but in
 wordpress.com most people can not edit their CSS which is not true for
 stand alone wordpress.

 I don't disagree with you. In a perfect world, everyone would know how to
 add their logo using CSS. Unfortunately, most users have no idea how to
 deal with this. I imagine that's why the feature was added to both
 WordPress.com and Jetpack in the first place.

 Whether core decides to add this or not, theme authors need a way to allow
 users to easily upload a logo. Currently, a large number of free and
 commercial themes are using one of the methods I mentioned in the ticket.
 These implementations vary greatly in code quality and user experience, so
 it seems like a really good place for core to step in and provide a
 standard.

 If the feature is tied to theme support, I don't really see the potential
 harm in adding it. It will create a unified experience for anyone who
 needs to include a logo uploader for their users. Those who don't can
 continue doing it however they have in the past.
