 Replying to [comment:1 freddyware]:
 > Isn't it pretty pointless to remove a hardcoded stylesheet in a
 template? After all, themes are supposed to be associated with a
 stylesheet... unless this modification is supposed to make it possible to
 remove the stylesheet from a theme? (Why would someone do that?)
 > To date, I have not yet seen a single theme that uses enqueue to load
 their stylesheets. It would make theme development (e.g. in a testing /
 IDE environment) a LOT harder.
 > Moreover, this isn't really a bug; it's an enhancement.

 I'm not 100% sure of this, but I'm pretty sure that ''not'' using enqueue
 should be considered a bad practice, even if it is a bit harder.  Why?  If
 not used then WordPress can't collect all the stylesheets and serve them
 on one HTTP GET request. Not using enqueue thus dooms the website to many
 unnecessary HTTP requests and violates the first "rule" in website
 performance improvement, see:

 http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html

 JMTCW, anyway.
