Pluggable functions are pretty cool (particularly when you haven't got your head around hooks yet), because you can change anything very easily. The downside being, of course, you can change entire functions very easily.<div>

<div>I'm reviewing a theme that has made all functions in functions.php
pluggable, including those on hooks. From what I understand, this won't break
anything, but doesn't feel very "best practice"-y (anything on a hook can just
be removed from the hook, making the pluggable code un-necessary).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The theme was already approved, but I prefer to encourage the best
practice; perhaps a "fix in next release" note is appropriate, rather than
blocking
approval?..</div><br>_______________________________________________<br>theme-reviewers
