 Replying to [comment:4 wikicms]:
 > I downloaded some new themes http://wordpress.org/themes/browse/new/ to
 check and in many themes used not overloaded or not unhookable functions.
 Often used require or include statements.

 Require and include statements don't necessarily mean that the functions
 in those files are not overridable. See the default themes for an example.

 > Another way yet - if the community is not ready to support this idea,
 please pay attention to the developers of themes on this issue, and urge
 them to apply only easily modifiable code.

 While it is not a requirement to wrap all code in callbacks, the Theme
 Review Team usually does a good job in reminding developers to do so.

 > PS Child themes avoid banality, both in design and in the logic of
 behavior. I would very much like to be able to completely change both.

 In a case where you want to completely change the parent theme, maybe
 creating a child theme is not the best idea?
