 * I am crestfallen and disillusioned as I find that the WordPress royalty has deemed
   to ban Suffusion from the World of WordPress. I have been using WordPress, as
   a developer, since shortly after it appeared. In the early days having to make
   significant changes to make it into a real CMS for non-blog websites. For much
   of that time, I was constantly confronted with perhaps the most challenging aspect
   of developing with WordPress – installing and evaluating hundreds of themes in
   the vague hopes of finding one that might both be competently written, and offer
   sufficient flexibility to meet the needs of a commercial website. Then, I found
   Suffusion! It worked perfectly, and it offered more flexibility in layout and
   design than the next ten themes combined. MY frustrating and continuous hunt 
   was over, and for several years, and countless websites, I happily deployed Suffusion
   with nary a whimper and never an issue. Now, it is gone at the same time I have
   hundreds of websites dependent on it, and, even as this is written another mid-
   size website in development with it. I went to update to the latest version and
   it is not to be found. I am fearful now, that because of a perceived dislike 
   of Sayontan, there may be an active attempt made to break suffusion in some future
   WP release – causing all that work to go up in smoke and the websites to crash.
   I say that, not in spite, but only because I can not think of any other reason
   such a useful tools has been removed from WordPress…
 * Is there anything that can be done? Is there any way we can get access to this
   theme back? Or, do I move to Drupal?
