Comment (by mercime):

 I believe either rephrasing "any WordPress theme" or adding a disclaimer
 to the phrase is necessary and is essential. I am sorry about the string
 freeze. And yes, the disclaimer in the patch was not as clear or
 comprehensive as it should have been. But it would have gone to 2-4
 sentences if it was a full disclaimer, not good.

 An alternative is to rephrase "any WordPress theme" to for example, "'''a
 majority of WordPress themes'''" or "'''a majority of WordPress themes
 available in the market'''". This protects the brand as BuddyPress cannot
 be responsible for nor should it be held responsible for themes which
 were: coded badly or incorrectly, themes which have not been updated for
 some time, or themes which have fully customized layers of code, and
 thereby do not work with BP's Theme Compat.

 For your consideration.
