I suggest removing "a:hover" and any other a:pseudo-selector styles and
providing just plain old "a" styles. While I appreciate that BP provides
sensible defaults, it creates extra work (however minimal) for a web
designer when they need to adjust link colors for their site. For example,
if the site's links should be green, a designer would need to overwrite at
least 3 CSS selectors:
a, a:focus, a:hover{
color: green;
}
Just my 2c :)
