[theme-reviewers] Unregister core plugins

[Philip M. Hofer (Frumph)]

.. Isn't this the same as having shortcodes though?  since the new theme 
wouldn't have the ability to use it so the data is as said lost .. as the 
people who want shortcodes to be gone made a point as being the reason; just 
wondering if that's not pretty much the same.

Not rehashing, just curious; because it's an interesting thought.

I would think that as long as the core widget functionality is
unaffected, it wouldn't be an issue; that is, if they change themes
there's no visible affect.
