 Replying to [comment:10 westi]:
 > I disagree - it reduces the repeating of similar code and at the same
 time makes it easy for a child theme to override the loop in a specific
 case.

 I would say that the repeating of similar code is not undesirable,
 considering that having it in multiple places makes it easier to customize
 for each individual place.

 Customizing it individually in specific templates via large blocks of
 if/else/ifs is far more cluttered and confusing than simply separating it
 out into clean loops that each have their own design, even if they do have
 duplicated parts between them.

 We have things like category-slug.php and search.php templates for a
 reason. Using is_category() for things that should be in separate
 templates is silly.
