 > I'm okay with adding more hooks to the initially proposed list, but in
 order to do so, we have to justify the hooks with use cases. We can't say
 we need a `header_before` hook just because we have a `header_after` hook,
 right?

 I'd say wrong.  We need that hook for the simple purposes of a wider
 adoption rate by theme developers and to develop a standard.  There really
 is no standard if theme developers are having to create custom hooks to
 match the "missing" hooks from WordPress.

 Based on my experience with theme users:

 Of the proposed list, the most commonly-used hook is `header_after`.  If
 adding the `*_before` equivalents, `header_before` would also be one of
 the most commonly-used hooks.  The others are not used quite as much by
 users.

 But, probably the most-used of all hooks in my themes would be the
 equivalent of `content_before`.
