[theme-reviewers] Webmaster Tools IDs - plugin territory?

[Jason Clarke]

Hi Emil,

Thank you for your reply. Not that I'm necessarily disagreeing, but so I
understand- why is an Analytics snippet plugin territory, but a third-party
site ID (such as Webmaster Tools) considered allowable in a theme's
options? In both cases (Analytics and Webmaster Tools), the site would lose
its association with the third-party tool if the theme was switched.
