 > Not to ride in and suggest big changes at the last minute, or diminish
 the work @xkon and others have done. But it's an option, and I would be
 for it.

 We're all here to help no matter how big or small the changes are, aren't
 we? :D . Don't even worry about that part :) . But as @iandunn mentioned
 since this update is about helping people with GDPR so it's tied to legal
 things imho we should update everything and provide as much as possible by
 default.

 @laurelfulford : this + the cookie opt-in are 'unfortunately' something
 that needs to be implemented  I've been discussing these changes with
 #themereview as well and we'll be doing posts on Meta also when they are
 finalized to help either users & theme authors to get notified in time
 etc. There will be some stress added especially for the cookie opt-in but
 it's something that is needed 100% unfortunately.

 As for the patch if you want to update it that would be a lot of help atm
 so thanks in advance. Sorry that I didn't check for the different types of
 separators elsewhere in themes to be consistent - I thought that since
 there where none in the footers already we wouldn't mind having the same
 across themes :D oh well !
