| Feb 8, 2012 at 21:49 | comment | added | Chip Bennett | Okay, so, this may only further muddy the waters, but: how about differentiating between user features and development features? A "user" would never be registering a CPT or custom taxonomy, but would only be creating posts and/or terms for CPTs or custom taxonomies that have already been created. | |
| Feb 8, 2012 at 21:47 | comment | added | EAMann Mod | I agree. But many people see taxonomies and CPTs as features of WordPress. If we're trying to keep things abstract and flexible, we need to be as clear as possible when we make these distinctions. | |
| Feb 8, 2012 at 21:43 | comment | added | Chip Bennett | But associating a custom taxonomy with a custom post type isn't a feature; rather, it is an implementation, and IMHO would fall under development. | |
| Feb 8, 2012 at 21:42 | comment | added | EAMann Mod | I think "XYZ feature" is a bit too broad to make a call here. If the feature is "how do I upload a video?" then yes, out of scope. If the feature is "how do I properly associate a custom taxonomy with a custom post type" then it would be very much in-scope. | |
