Ticket #7741, comment 4
initial v1 3 3 On the other hand, I think it's potentially harmful as it provides some form of acknowledgement of "you may use that name" which while true, isn't accurate. 4 4 5 Likewise, as you've found out, that looking at `https://wordpress.org/themes/$name/` isn't accurate. 6 5 7 It's only accurate as to whether it would be blocked on submission to the Theme Directory ''at the time of checking'', it provides no confirmation that the theme name isn't already in use or available on a 3rd-party site, or that it'll be available in a months time still. The theme author is still expected to check that ''before'' they develop and/or submit a theme, a tool on WordPress.org ''cannot'' do that more accurately than a human. 6 8
