 a single scalar data point. Suggesting wontfix.


 This patch should not interfere with any of that. wp_upload_dir has logic
 that deals with multisite which I have not modified. All I've done is
 replace instances of WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads' with WP_UPLOADS_DIR,
 which itself is a definition of WP_CONTENT_DIR_ . '/uploads'. The same
 applies to WP_CONTENT_URL.

 None of the behavior of wp_uploads_dir changes here, all that has happened
 is thats the concatenation of WP_CONTENT_DIR with /uploads happens in
 default-constants.php rather than being hardcoded within the function
 itself.
