Are WP themes required to be 3.0 compatible?

...just wondering. And if not, is there any good reason why it wouldn’t have to be?

Thanks but doesn’t totally answer my question. Kailoon’s post just says that a “WordPress theme which is WP 3 .0 compatible must support at least 1 wp nav menu”. So does that means it isn’t required to be WP 3 .0 compatible BUT if it’s marked as so then it has to support a wp nav menu?

... and mostly I’m wondering why a new WP theme approved here today wouldn’t be required to be WP 3 .0 compatible (or at least support 1 WP nav, as detailed by the Kailoon post).

what I get out of Kailoons post is that it is required to be 3.0 compatible mainly from the heading Default requirements(3.0) but some one may correct me if Im wrong

” Start from now, all WordPress theme which is WP 3 .0 compatible must support ” so if your theme if for wordpress 3.0… so you can make them for an earlier theme… but i would recommend to be up to speed with the technology

How do you know the theme isn’t wp 3 compatible?

[never mind, I see which theme you’re talking about. That is strange. Maybe they just accidentlly didn’t select the 3.0 field, when they were creating the product]
