In reply to Chip Bennett.

Use a plugin to hide crap is like put shit under the carpet. People who are not satisfied with plugin/theme should not use it and support that. Change for something that fit a needs more.

There are many helpful plugins/themes without junk.
There is no one reason why to stick with Yoast, W3Cache, monster, hipster and things like that.

Why anybody thing that if the developer put crap in front of your face, that he use something different inside of that code/service/communication.
