Though overrides are not technically "bugs," they do represent the potential
for many true bugs in the future.  We have been dealing with this for 5 years. 
Each of us has created an override and said "we'll make sure we maintain that"
but eventually it is forgotten until something really bad starts happening then
it takes forever to debug the problem.  So even though overrides are not
technically bugs, personally, I would prefer if they did not exist in any core
module of Kepler.  They have enough potential to create future bugs that they
should be avoided and in their place, functionality added to make the feature
extendable in a configurable manner.
