Comment (by desrosj):

 In [changeset:"44725" 44725]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="44725"
 Themes: Revert returning the value of `locate_template()` in functions
 that call it.

 Because the names of the `get_header()`, `get_footer()`, `get_sidebar()`,
 and `get_template_part()` functions indicate that a value is returned,
 some plugins and themes already have `echo get_template_part()` in their
 codebase. Adding a return value to these functions using the approach in
 [44678] will cause the two unintended side effects of unexpected content
 being sent to the browser, and accidental path disclosure.

 Reverts [44678].

 Props davidbinda.
