Comment (by Ov3rfly):

 Replying to [comment:13 bpetty]:
 > Anyway, the point is that you can still do anything and everything
 @import does without actually using @import inside child themes.

 All child themes I ever saw use @import for parent style.css as explained
 in [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#Example_of_a_basic_Child_Theme
 Codex].

 That's why the use of ''respond.js'' is no solution to the IE7/8 menu
 problem.

 It's just a bad hack which will cause even more bad hacks, as writing
 real-world compatible child themes for Twenty Twelve will not be possible
 and everybody will have to directly edit the main Twenty Twelve to include
 their styles and code. This will cause a lot of confusion and probably
 messed up and buggy themes with bad user experience.

 There is a reason for this bold sentence in
 [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes Codex]:

 '''..child themes are the recommended way of making modifications to a
 theme.'''

 I still stand to my "Hyperbole", the current release of Twenty Twelve
 should be withdrawn and the menu be rewritten to work also in IE or it
 will hurt WordPress in the long run...
