@crashutah – That’s right. But chances are that most of your modifications will only take place in a handful of template files, so it’s still way better than having to migrate changes over to a wholesale copy of bp-default. To give you a frame of reference, even a fairly heavily themed version of BP 1.2.x like on http://commons.gc.cuny.edu inherits something like 60-70% of its template files from bp-default.
