[theme-reviewers] Unregistering default widgets

[Konstantin Obenland]

Yeah, I can live with that! How would you phrase that for the Theme Review Codex page?

Themes may OPTIONALLY unregister core Widgets
If unregistered, Themes are REQUIRED to replace these Widgets with their own (extended) version

Something like that?
