 Maybe I should of been clearer. I wasn't saying nobody looked at it. I was
 merely trying to point out the discussion was more about leaving
 twelvethirteen as is and whether it's  potential in breaking plugins was a
 good thing or not. It was decided that this was a good thing. A fix (even
 a simple one) wasn't on the cards.

 make it mandatory for plugins to detect both box-sizing and padding of
 widgets and act accordingly.

 much styling, but that when they do we'd like to push (challenge?) them to
 use specific selectors and to not make assumptions on existing styles.

 I not sure what you mean by styling as this problem is immediately
 apparent at the top level widget class (as mentioned 5 posts back) as
 twelve thirteen applies padding to the widget. Combined with border-box
 these are two large differences from past official themes which have to be
 accounted for by all plugins that have widgets.
