Theme roller code

Theme roller code

This question comes up from time to time and the response is always "please wait".

It would be nice if the theme roller was open.  Many want to replace a lot of the work that theme roller does with SASS and compass but theme roller itself is very opaque.  It would be nice if the source code could be released so it could be understood directly rather than reverse engineered.

I don't understand the response of "it is changing so we don't want to release it".  So?  Everything is always changing.  jQuery and jQuery-ui are both changing but they are still released and open for review and contributions.  There is also time.  The response above has been given for over two years now.

Can you please release the theme roller code so that others can look at it and have a good starting point to create their replacements?

Thank you,
Perry
