Comment (by obenland):

 Plugins should not be part of a theme ever. Also, a theme should not
 ''require'' a specific plugin, but rather be built in a way that it works
 just fine without it.

 I'm not sure I don't see it as a pressing need, honestly. It shouldn't be
 an excuse to do things the wrong way, just because there is not a core
 functionality around it. Themes can always just revert to displaying a
 notice to circumvent a Revolution Slider issue.

 But I understand how a feature like that would be nice to have.
