[theme-reviewers] Are shortcodes allowed in special cases?

[Chip Bennett]

Shortcodes intended to be used in post content (i.e. shortcodes added to
the post editor) are not allowed, ever.

Shortcodes used elsewhere (such as for configuring the site footer, which
IIRC is how Hybrid uses shortcodes) is fine.

The determining factor is the intended use of the shortcodes, as defined by
the Theme.
