[wp-hackers] best way for custom rewrites in a theme

[William Satterwhite]

Agreed with Justin 100%. Whatever code you add to a functions.php file in a
theme for custom rewrites should exist as a plugin. It's as simple as
creating a new file, dropping in your code, and making sure the header in
your file follows the WordPress plugin standard. Then you can take
advantage of the registration_activation_hook with out trying to use some
alternate hook.

Not only that, but if you're adding custom rewrites/routing to your
website, wouldn't you want it to be theme independent? Maybe you want to
run a seasonal theme or create a new theme all together, so why create more
work/restrictions by building that part in to the theme's functions.php
file?
