That's silly. You can't possible predict what conflicts your hack might have with other hacks. And this isn't just for conflicts. What if you simply want to re-order things on forum home, for example?

2. Instead of creating a new table and having to implement a whole new block of code, you should've added a displayorder column to the plugin table and used that.

That's your opinion. I prefer not to modify vb core tables if I can help it. The new table is indexed and performance is not an issue.
