[theme-reviewers] Question about child theming

[Chip Bennett]

That's a development decision. Not all functions are intended to be
Pluggable, and wholesale overriding of some functions would cause the Theme
to break entirely.

Making functions Pluggable isn't recommended, much less best-practice.
(Notice that core is moving away from Pluggable functions as well.) It's
strictly the purview of the developer to determine whether functions should
be Pluggable or to have their output filterable.
