@Ian, thanks for this answer. I’ve been trying to find out about grandchild theme support, and I checked out your Wordpress ticket on this issue and the associated diff’s and I see that there is no support for the parent discovery to work recursively up the theme hierarchy, unfortunately, it’s a very simplistic implementation at the moment. However, you say well, sort of, mostly’ can you share with us what are your suggestions then for doing this? With child themes becoming ever more popular, proven and suggested methods for extending child themes while keeping them future-proof for upgrades will be very important for child themes to truly reach the level of adoption we would all like to see them at.

Right now there is no way (well, sort of, mostly). And for Power Blog in particular it’s meant as a Theme you can hack up to start your development with. I would just keep a fresh copy on hand if you’re worried about it.
