I've flipped and flopped about a number of these things before, and it was a while ago that I figured I could include a bunch of the SEO tweaks into the core to shut people up about it, but I'm increasingly convinced that it would be better for me and for Wedge not to do that, but instead make a single multifunction plugin that 'did everything'.
It'll mean that instead of a bunch of little tweaks and a bunch of core things that I don't really want in the core, I can build a single plugin that does everything which will have a performance benefit as opposed to lots of little plugins.
I also think it demonstrates that, frankly, SEO is not a priority for Wedge (because it isn't) and is more reaffirming of my belief that SEO for forums is largely a waste of time than any pandering to those that refuse to listen to the evidence...
