Not sure about new theme but definitely I personally really exited about new theme release. Let me know your thoughts on WordPress 4.0.
I love wordpress, however, to call this 4.0 is a bid much, the updates are rater minimal, so maybe 3.9001 or something like that would reflect better current updates in my opinion.
Thanks Martin for comment. I partially agree with you. Some how I like the faster software development lifecycle. Small but significant under the hood improvement is the goal.
