 > For each custom_post_type there will be a additional
 sticky_{custom_post_type} option.

 In doing so, you've bypassed the problem of

 > I think implementing this might cause some themes or widgets to get a
 little weird. Some themes grab get_option('sticky_posts') and send that
 right into a query via post__in, which means they might end up with posts
 of custom post types all of a sudden

 If a theme wants to display a list of sticky posts in all post types, then
 it's simple to array_merge() them all, or if a plugin wants their sticky
 posts to show in the list of sticky posts on the front end, its a simple
 filter addition {{{(if !is_admin(), add filter for
 pre_get_option_sticky_posts, array_merge in get_option('sticky_issues');
 )}}}, ie. Leave it up to the plugin to deal with that side of things..
