This is absolutely not acceptable, period. Point me to a theme that
has it and I will personally kill that theme in the directory.

Bypassing the wp.org systems with hacks like this, in any way, is
grounds for immediate banishment and flogging. We wouldn't allow
plugins to do it, and we're not going to allow themes to do it either.
