<div dir="ltr">The presentation-vs-functionality line is not limited to "lock in". The feature has absolutely nothing to do with presentation of user content (in fact, the Plugin has zero front-end impact at all - something that should be a considerable red flag regarding its appropriateness within a Theme), and is something that, should the user decide to use for the site, would be expected to remain when switching Themes. </div>

If @Ulrich had not brought forward / recognized the existing plugin's code I would not have looked twice at allowing it through based on it enhancing the core functionality.</div>
