I thought it was OK to extend core functionality - as long as it RETAINED the original functionality; ie didn&#39;t break when they switched themes. So, replacing a widget with a custom one of the same name that had the original functionality but with some added powers.<br>

There is more than one type of developer.<br>

Removing widgets makes perfect sense to be available for plugins<br>
