Some base functions are not virtual and thus can't be overridden by default.

Some base functions are not virtual and thus can't be overridden by default.
For example, ownerOf(), balanceOf(), etc.
Is there any reason behind that design decision ? Openzeppelin has theirs all virtual to allow the most amount of extensions/customizations.

I have a use case for an extension to ERC721A that would involve modifying the logic post-mint. I'm fine with simply changing those functions to virtual in my source code, but was also wondering if there's more to that design decision that I might be missing.

We can change them to virtual.

Btw, curious, what is your use case for overriding these functions?

[sdocquir]

Thanks, that'd be great.
Not able to disclose that just now, but my team will have an extension proposal in the next couple weeks !

Just a disclaimer, we will very most likely reject extension proposals though.

We're writing this extension for our project.
I understand modifying those base functions could be considered to be outside the purview of an extension and might warrant maintaining a separate standard altogether, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to start with a proposal and get community feedback.

No worries if/when it gets rejected.
