Description

Theme update support was partially added to the Unified Updater (wp-admin/update-core.php) but never finished. Let's finish it.

We'll need to put a warning above the GUU themes section reminding people that updating a theme could overwrite any changes they've made, etc.

It would be sweet to allow theme authors to remove that using a filter. Some themes are built in such a way that you don't need to edit the templates in order to customize them...

True, but some people will edit those themes anyway. not everything is covered in a theme options screen.

It's not about options, it's about widgets. When your template (as in, the loop) is widget-based, there is absolutely no reason to edit the slightest file.

That doesn't mean they won't.

That should probably be displayed in the Plugin & Theme editors too, linking to a codex article about child themes for the latter.
