Hence the assertion that themes with plugins, be it built in or required are most likely to experience issues. @ Ozh

Agreed- thanks. Hence the assertion that themes with plugins, be it built in or required are most likely to experience issues.

Prior to 2.3, and since 2.3.1, the question is mostly irrelevant.

In all, themes are most always compatible with newer versions of WordPress so it is redundant to list it as a "2.5 compatible theme" in Codex or elsewhere. @ David

I did that myself a few times (Colourise, Fresh, The Studio, Silk) and found it to work as long as it is placed within the WordPress sidebar widget, that way, when the user selects the option to use the built in widgets, the pre-built widget is no longer active.

In all, themes are most always compatible with newer versions of WordPress so it is redundant to list it as a “2.5 compatible theme” in Codex or elsewhere.

Newer themes are being released with plugin like tools in the theme's function file. I can see this changing. Newer themes are being released with plugin like tools in the theme’s function file.
