[wp-docs] theme and plugin compatibility pages

[mrmist]

So last night I am checking for changes on the codex as I do, to purge 
off spam and the like, and I see that seo-dave has added masses of links 
to theme compat pages for 2.8 and 2.3, so I undo them.  We do that a 
couple of times.  seo-dave drops a message on my talk page this morning 
asking why I am reverting the changes.

So I explain in there that I'm reverting them because it looks like spam 
to me.

Anyway, his views and mine clearly differ as to what constitutes spam. 
To me, though, the theme compatibility pages and the plugin compat pages 
just look like long link-lists that can be taken advantage of.  I'm not 
convinced what their purpose is within the codex.

To me, it would seem that if there's known issues with a theme, maybe 
that section belongs in the codex, but what's the point in the rest? 
Themes that pass the criteria appear in the WordPress Theme browser, I'm 
not sure why there is a codex page for the themes that people are 
essentially making a profit off.

For now I guess I will have to leave these pages and not prune them of 
spam links as I would everywhere else.

Any clarification is appreciated.
