[theme-reviewers] Removing core features

[esmi at quirm dot net]

https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12168>

Just grabbed a new ticket and immediately noticed this in the theme's 
functions.php:

remove_action('wp_head', 'adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head', 10, 0);
remove_action('wp_head', 'start_post_rel_link', 10, 0);
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');
remove_action('wp_head', 'rsd_link');
remove_action('wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link');
remove_action('wp_head', 'feed_links_extra',3);
remove_action('wp_head', 'rel_canonical');
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_shortlink_wp_head');
remove_action('wp_head', 'feed_links', 2);
remove_action('wp_head', 'index_rel_link');
remove_action('wp_head', 'rel_next');
remove_action('wp_head', 'parent_post_rel_link', 10, 0);
remove_action('wp_head', 'locale_stylesheet');
remove_action('wp_head', 'noindex');
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_print_styles');
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_print_head_scripts');

The theme itself is pretty basic and is not removing any of the above 
because they are being replaced with custom functionality. It's just 
removing core functionality for no apparent reason - which makes me 
uncomfortable. Do you think that they could create problems for users in 
terms of a smooth transition from theme-to-theme?
