Comment (by rob1n):

 I'm -1 for this, mainly because I disagree with what Viper says about how
 it would be "a *lot* easier for users to remove that from their header
 (for whatever reason they deem) as you could just use a mini-plugin to
 remove the hook rather than editing the theme." I strongly disagree.
 Opening up a theme file in a text editor and taking out one line is a LOT
 easier than creating your own mini-plugin, or searching for, downloading,
 installing and activating a plugin that takes out a simple line of HTML
 output.

 It's just one line, which IMO is not worth it to make writing themes
 "easier", if it's that bad you can just copy and paste it.
