Comment(by husobj):

 I am sure the filter was introduced with good intentions and I quite like
 the 'idea' of being able to protect the Wordpress (oops WordPress) brand
 in this way.

 I love the humour and personally that surrounds WordPress and it's code -
 Keep your easter eggs, keep your twentyten theme footer emoticon, keep
 Hello Dolly...

 But I think altering what people have explicitly written is a bad idea.
 WordPress is a CMS and although this change in itself is no big deal, I
 think people may dislike the fact that you are in effect dictating what
 they are allowed to write. If you really really must, by all means flag
 misspellings to the user somehow (subtly) but please don't tell me what I
 am and am not allowed to write.
