[theme-reviewers] Question about removing default widgets

[Josh Pollock]

So we're clear, your argument is that beacuse I can set your Archive widget
to show all posts in ascending order by date beginning from the present,
the default Recent Posts widget's functionality is duplicated?

If so, I still don't think think it is reasonable to believe that a regular
user would figure this out like I did. I think a regular user would go
looking for the Recent Posts widget and see that its missing and decide
that it was impossible to show recent posts in a widget.
