Yup thought it was familiar. I would think that a seamless extension
of existing widgets and shortcodes would be preferable to a theme
implementing custom widgets and shortcodes - which would break if
the theme was switched.<br>
<br>
Theme authors would, of course, have to update these widgets when
new versions of WordPress roll out, to accommodate changes in the
core functionality.<br>

I thought it was OK to extend core functionality - as
long as it RETAINED the original functionality; ie
didn'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>

I disagree. If we don't want developers ...<br>

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

Removing widgets makes perfect sense to be available

another form of<br>
