    From what I understand, the version of Masonry bundled with
    WordPress is for some compatibility stuff in the admin.   I could be
    wrong though.  If anyone more familiar with that could chime in,
    it'd be great.<br>
    <br>
    Assuming the theme didn't touch the admin (shouldn't anyway) and
    checked that Masonry wasn't loaded by a plugin on the front end (the
    theme would need to gracefully degrade if so), I have no problem
    bending the **guidelines** (not rules) on this particular issue.<br>
    <br>
    This is just another example of not taking the case under full
    consideration and applying black-and-white rules to all scenarios. <br>

              </div>
              <div>So let's imagine a scenario where a reviewer noticed
                that my theme deregistered core-bundled Masonry 4
                versions or so ago in order to use Masonry 3. That
                reviewer would have said "Josh you are required to use
                the version of Masonry that is bundled with WordPress."
                To which I would have said, "but you see, the version of
                Masonry in WordPress is very old. The very different new
                version, allows me to solve all of the weird formatting
                problems I was getting when using Masonry in my theme."
                And the reviewer would have reminded me that our
                guidelines do not have sensible flexibility built-in to
                allow for the rules to be bent a bit when it solves real
                world problems. Instead, I'd have been given the choice
                of removing a feature or allowing my theme to remain
                broken for an indefinite period of time.</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>Wouldn't it have been better if the hypothetical
                reviewer had allowed this rule bending, in the name of
                making things work, that would have had little to no
                adverse consequences as long as I agreed to switch to
                core-bundled Masonry when it was updated to Masonry 3? </div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>See how that second scenario produces better themes,
                which I think is the point of the theme review
                guidelines to begin with.</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>Of course, my theme works nicely with Masonry,
                because no one noticed that I acted sensibly instead
                instead of following the guidelines to the letter, which
                would have produced an inferior theme.</div>
