Comment:

 The fewer the hooks there are in actual templates the easier it is to
 write new themes.

 I think we have too many even now.

 My general opinion is that plugins should ask their users to add

 {{{
 <?php if ( function_exists( 'bobs_whirly_gig' ) ) bobs_whirly_gig(); ?>
 }}}

 In their custom templates.

 I do think we need to figure out exactly what and where we need hooks, but
 I think that needs to be done on the global scale rather than adding new
 hooks in piecemeal.

 Please feel free to contribute more discussion (and even to reopen).  I'm
 just closing this janitorially (is that even a word?).
