[wp-hackers] child themes of child themes (grandchildren)

[Otto]

It's a sanity thing. Essentially, child themes are fine, while
grandchild themes take it a bit too far. If you need to customize
further than a child theme, then you're probably doing it wrong to
begin with and should look at alternatives. The Custom CSS feature of
Jetpack, for example.
