Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 cyberwani]:

 Child themes can remove any action or filters that were added by a default
 theme in a callback to `after_setup_theme`.

 Example:

 {{{
 #!php
 <?php
 function twentytwelvechild_remove_hooks() {
         remove_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'twentytwelve_scripts_styles'
 );
 }
 add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'twentytwelvechild_remove_hooks' );
 }}}

 After that they can register their own callback to `wp_enqueue_scripts`
 and add the parent theme's scripts as needed.

 Alternatively, child themes can hook into `wp_enqueue_scripts` on a
 priority bigger than 10, and deregister/dequeue scripts or styles.

 Separating out responsive styles into their own stylesheet is probably not
 something that default themes are likely to do. In existing default themes
 for backwards compatibility reasons, and in future default themes because
 it would add another request to the server and most installs probably
 won't have the ability to concatenate on the fly.

 I would recommend creating a new stylesheet in your child theme that
 contains the CSS bits from the parent theme that you want to keep, use
 that, and dequeue the parent's default stylesheet.
