     - `matrix_init_board()` etc. migrated to `keyboard_pre_init_kb()`, see: [keyboard_pre_init*](custom_quantum_functions.md?id=keyboard_pre_init_-function-documentation)
     - prefer `CUSTOM_MATRIX = lite` if custom matrix used, allows for standard debounce, see [custom matrix 'lite'](custom_matrix.md?id=lite)
     - prefer LED indicator [Configuration Options](feature_led_indicators.md?id=configuration-options) to custom `led_update_*()` implementations where possible
+    - Encoder support should not be hacked into the keymap here -- no `tap_code(dynamic_keymap_get_keycode())` or `action_exec()` hacks.  The [Encoder Map](feature_encoders.md?id=encoder-map) feature already supports the dynamic keymap feature (what power's VIA's "live keymap updates" capability).
+      - If support is absolutely necessary, it should be implemented exclusively at the keymap level, with none of the implementation bleeding into the keyboard level (no empty rows/columns, no encoder specific layouts, etc.), as those configurations can be redefined at the keymap level. Keymaps can then choose to use the `action_exec` hack. <!-- because people will complain, give them a way to implement it, in the meanwhile.  To be removed. -->

     - `#include "quantum.h"` appears at the top
     - `LAYOUT` macros should use standard definitions if applicable
