[theme-reviewers] WordPress Shortcodes

[Emil Uzelac]

I see what you mean Chip, I really do, however we're stepping over user's
responsibilities here. Same thing will happen with i.e. "Specific
Templates", not to mention widgets etc. In a perfect world yes, it would be
nice to separate them, but we should not limited to that, or better yet
"force" things into plugin. User's responsibility is to manage their sites
and author's should keep their codes up to date, it can't get easier!

Just my 2¢ that's all,
Emil
