[wp-hackers] Sandbox in WP Core?

[DD32]

The ability to install new themes from within the Administration
section, Much like plugins, Would really help users there.. It'll be
much easier for them to install Sandbox, or find a better theme that
suits them..

...Unfortunately, I'm just not having the time right now to actually
finish off writing it.. Life & work have got in the way again :(
