After some discussion this morning, I am putting up a proposal to eliminate hooks entirely (though not the concept of hooks) and replace them with officially registered callbacks. I have identified several areas where this will improve Drupal (primarily in terms of probable performance gains).

I think these ideas have merit. However, we'll want to benchmark them -- with and without APC. I think this is a case where we have to let the performance numbers speak. (When we started moving the theme_ functions into template files, we developed similar concepts.) -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
