In the link above, he already answers that question: "This module can provide a lightweight solution to taxonomy_theme.module or sections.module if you only want to switch to a single different theme based on URL paths."
I read that. Still I see no difference. Sections is very small. The amount of code in both modules is not much different.
Don't get me wrong: I am all for choice. But two modules that do almost exactly the same, in almost exactly the same way, with almost the exact same code are IMO a waste of time.
Is that why you forked core's upload.module ? ;-)
It is hard enough to find any modules as it is, let alone if for all modules there are two, three four alternatives that have the EXACT same problems and appear to do the exact same. The lightweight module, moreover, has the same issue as sections module, why it cannot be released, namely the fact that 4.7's per-theme blocks are a PIAS when switching. If that person wouldve spent time on a solution for that instead, we would have had one module that actually works by now. Instead of two that are useless because of some critical issue.
