Got two not that serious questions but it relates to all the confusing naming that goes on in the WP community.

1: Given the "theme framework" they are releasing for BuddyPress I'm curious as what he might see as the equivalent of a "skin" for WordPress/BuddyPress.
2: Why not call the parent theme a parent theme and not a theme framework given that it can have child themes =).

Its sort of similar to the whole premium theme thing. Plugins thankfully don't suffer from this yet.
