Recieved an interesting email from Premium WordPress theme provider Templatic regarding the new WordPress 3.0 and how it will impact their themes.

As you might have heard,  3.0 version of WordPress might release in just
few days. I am writing this mail to inform you the following.

- We are committed to, and will provide all the update necessary to use
wordpress 3.0 with our themes.
- Beta version of wordpress 3.0 is available but there is no final version
yet. We will only be able to work on the theme updates once the 3.0 final
version is available for download.
- Once WordPress 3.0 is available, we will get started on theme updates
immediately and provide update the themes asap.
- Ofcourse, this updates will be provided free of cost.

If you are using templatic theme, we recommend you not to upgrade your
wordpress install to 3.0 unless you receive theme update email from us.
Most probably, you will hear from us within 2 days from the day WordPress
3.0 is available.

Thanks,
Bhavesh
