What falls under the plugin territory should be noted and required to be either removed or moved into a companion plugin. We do not based exceptions on how old the Theme is. Rules are equal for all.<br>

I do feel that, since there already is a plugin, it would be a better choice to update the plugin, and clean up the theme.<br> <br>When does it become "too much"? it's a real estate theme and I'm finding options for <br>
Maximum Listings Per Search<br>Price Range Options<br>Currency Symbol<br>(+analytics)<br>etc.<br>All of these are in the themes option page regardless if the plugin is installed or not, but most of them only actually do something if the plugin is installed.<br>
