For awhile now I've been thinking about putting together and releasing an official ThemeShark framework . Branded frameworks are very popular within the Wordpress and Joomla premium theme community at the moment , and it seems like all of the big name theme developers have rolled one out at some point. So should ThemeShark do the same for Drupal?

Maybe we should. It could certainly generate interest and bring in some extra business, and it would probably make the updating the themes to the lastest version of Drupal a bit easier. But here's the thing: it seems to me like it'd be a bit redundant at best, and a self-indulgent waste of time at worst. And I'm just not convinced that anyone would really care.
