We’re wrapping up the first version of Twenty Eleven, and have one blockerblocker A bug which is so severe that it blocks a release.: the headerHeader The header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes. image is big. It’s HUGE, even. We love it, and feel it’s something many people will also love — especially people new to WP and blogging — but we’re getting mixed reactions to just how big it is.

Header image size isn’t a really big deal if you have flexible header heights. To allow maximum customization for Twenty Eleven bloggers that want a smaller header image we’re recommending a core change to allow flexible header heights. It’d benefit more than just the default theme; flexible height headers is a top user request for themes on WP.com.

We’d love your feedback and your help getting it into 3.2.

See https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17242 for the juicy details.
