Autoupdate is simply a userpref option, minor 'patch', they wouldn't care.
> 2) We do security patches, not updating to the latest versions.
I have always wondered about this, why do we backport security patch to
the same branch? for example 1.5.0.7 patch backported to 1.5.0.4, why
not just use 1.5.0.7

Again adding a new theme and setting it as default is pretty
straightforward, they would not have any problems with it.

Now this stuff they probably would care about, but why not gave through
the approval process?
