We're still going to be going through the Theme Review process and getting our themes up on WordPress.org -- but because of how long it takes, and that we can only have one theme under review at any point, we wind up with a pretty big backlog that are waiting to be submitted (considering the rapid clip with which we release new free themes, for every one that's reviewed, we have a handful of others waiting to get in line)! This way folks don't need to manually download zips or snag them off our svn server.
