I hope WP Tavern keeps an eye on this. I bought Headway a few years ago and I still go in to update the files (even though I don't still use it).

Whatever Headway added to the development of WordPress it also helped evolve how themes are managed, created, distributed and supported. It is still a part of all those things. There are few themes which still offer full, lifetime support for as many sites as you want. Those were the early days. So far, all the themes I bought are still honouring their original promises. Although some are squirming around a bit.

IF Headway goes down (I've got every hope for the Griffiths to manage well) it will be interesting to see how that happens and what the fallout will be. The Internet continues to grow and evolve. Likely this sounds lame to most, if not everyone, reading. But, I've been online since 1996 and I love (more than just like) seeing how it has grown, even the parts I don't like.
