security point of view to disallow PHP Text Widgets, that is, widgets which
execute PHP which the user has placed in them, if so, that would not prevent
adsense or anything similar.. It'd only increase security of the majority of
sites which would use the theme. (Note: Thats based off your email, you
didn't mention the exact issue, just your understanding and implication of
some decision..)

There'll always be plugins as well which make it even easier to add your
adsense widgets/etc as well, without having to resort to code as thats what
plugins are there for.

I'm not part of the theme review team, Nor do I keep tabs on their policies,
but all decisions would be made for the better of user freedoms, take note
of that last part there.

Finally, The testers mailing list is the wrong place for questions like
this, Please try the support forums next time, this list is directly for
Testing Alpha/Beta releases of WordPress, nothing more, *please be aware
this list goes out to thousands of people who have absolutely no idea what
you're on about*.
So please contact me off-list if you have any extra questions about the
above, I'll either be able to answer it or get in touch with the person who
would know.
