In reply to Matt.

FWIW, the theme was not suspended merely because of this single data portability issue. I wouldn't even call it the primary issue. Nevertheless, that's not the big fish we need to fry at the moment.

We have plenty of folks, including Ionut, who have some great ideas on improving the system. The problems aren't so much about rules/guidelines. The problems stem from not getting changes that theme authors desperately need from .ORG and core.

Primarily, these issues are around the .ORG theme previewer and improved front page handling in core. I guarantee that if we can address those two things in useful and practical ways, it'll solve a huge number of issues that theme authors and the TRT have been struggling with for years.
