Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Thanks for the feedback, all. It sounds like `current_theme_supports(
 'buddypress' )` is generally agreed to be the best way forward. I'm going
 to put a post up on bpdevel explaining what theme authors have to do.

 For the moment, I'm not planning on doing any of the automated cleanup
 items I suggest above (1, 2, and 4). Basically, each one would introduce
 overhead in BuddyPress, and we should be encouraging theme authors to do
 it the "right" way.

 For the moment, I am *not* going to add a check for the 'buddypress' theme
 tag. (1) This also adds some overhead; and (2) I don't trust those tags -
 at least in the case of plugins, authors use the tag very promiscuously.

 Feel free to reopen for further discussion if you think that more needs to
 be done than r6822.
