This is odd: you are not showing as the last commenter in the list. In fact this whole thread is missing!

I was going to help blogsloth but his post was in the middle of the thread while others went on about the OP. So I looked to see if he'd posted a new thread and here I am!

@wank: Whenever someone asked for a change in a theme, the answer would (very reasonably) be no because the change might annoy other bloggers using the same theme. But now they went so far as to completely eliminate a theme. Makes sense: annoying Matt is graver than annoying thousands of users...

For example, the Classic template is six years old. Maybe somebody should pay Dave Shea to get into an argument with Matt so we can get shot of it?

Big whoop. No everyone reads the forums every day. An announcement of this sort needs to be at the top of MY DASHBOARD ON THE BLOG IT AFFECTS. You can put it anywhere else, but it HAS to be there. And why dump the widgets, causing more work for everyone? I am swamped right now and don't have time for this, but my readers--few as they may be--need to know they can subscribe, search, follow tweets, etc. This was not done thoughtfully, with the needs of your users in mind. A proper announcement, well in advance, in the right place, would have given people a chance to browse the themes and see what changes they wanted to make. And save screenshots of the widgets, and someone else mentioned. Grump.

It' usual in WP censoring comments, more in blog announcements. And if they don't like a handful of them, the thread is closed.

With some searching I discovered Cutline has been "phased out" and replaced by Coraline. For my blog the phasing out happened rather suddenly yesterday afternoon.

Coraline has some nice features but overall I'm not thrilled with the change (not enough sidebar widgets - who wants widgets at the bottom of the page?), or how the change occured without any warning.

What's most interesting is I voiced these opinions on the comments section for the intro to Coraline page but they were moderated out of existence. So if you see a new theme or new change and notice zillions of positive comments but no negative comments now you know why.
