[wp-hackers] What goes in core and plugins

[Alex]

True. If it's not broken, don't fix it. However, OO could provide many
benefits. So I'm looking to see if OO was not used as a preference or
if a reason was found in the process of development. I've found OO to
be very efficient (and fast) in complex scripts, so I'm unsure of
performance being the determining factor. It maybe worthwhile to
discuss the benefits of OO if there isn't any objective  reasoning.
