From the article:
Existing Themes
The biggest asset of WordPress is the large number of themes and plugins available for it. Of course, by switching to a templating language such as Mustache, the existing repository of PHP based themes are no longer valid. To take care of this, Automattic (the company behind WordPress) could bundle a plugin with WordPress 4.x that allows loading of old templates, which would be disabled by default. Keeping that code out of core would help keep the overall project more manageable and secure.
- rprasad 14y agoYes, I read the article. Pushing basic functionality to a plugin is not a solution, as themes would still need to be rewritten to use the plugin. Putting basic functionality in a plugin works with RoR because developers are used to it, but it is guaranteed to break if attempted with WordPress.
