So let me ask you this - what if I were to offer this code as a plugin AND
bundled with my theme? This way I am giving a user a migration path, I am
offering value-added stuff in my theme for those who don't want to use
something else, and I am avoiding breaking sites by yanking the code. Would
you consider this acceptable? The WPTRT doesn't find this acceptable
either, and that is one of the points Frumph is trying to make.
