Most WP blogs came in clean, in the truest essence of the word. I hope other sites that offer similar services or features as WP would also consider this “cleaning” idea. This move was really great!

'sponsored' was also not the best term for it. More like 'bought links' or something that clearly showed what it was about. “Sponsored” would mean that someone asked them to create the theme, and the proceeds were going to go to a charity or something. I didn't like the word being used for themes entirely. Yep, I think it was a good call!
