[theme-reviewers] Do like button (not social) fall in plugin territory?

[Chip Bennett]

I would consider this "sharing":

A story about your like will appear on your Timeline and may also appear in
your News Feed. You may be displayed on the Page you connected to, in
advertisements about that Page or in social plugins next to the content you
like.

You may see updates to in your feeds and the feeds of your friends from
Pages you like. You may also receive messages. Your connection to the page
may also be shared with apps on the Facebook Platform.


Honestly though, with these social/sharing questions, I sometimes get the
feeling that we're missing the forest for the trees. There are much bigger
and much more important things that we're missing in our reviews.
