If you plan on going with updates (or linking to a CDN etc.) it is bad 
practice. In my situation, I had to customize too extensively to consider 
that, plus I removed most or all unused CSS styles anyway to minimize file 
size. So while I understand your point, Bootstrap is more of a starting 
point for me. 

Am I wrong in thinking that is OK? If so. why?
