Comment (by chris@…):

 I'm slightly confused by this. `send_headers()` job is to figure out what
 headers should be sent. What's nice about this is that right before
 actually sending them the hook `wp_headers` is called allowing us to
 filter them. However, now the `X-Pingback` header has been moved to
 `handle_404()` so that function is really
 `handle_404_and_maybe_send_pingback_header()`?

 I'm actually really for this ticket and have been unsetting that header
 using `wp_headers` on pretty much every site for a long time now, but this
 seems really hacky.

 If this does go through, the docs for `send_headers()` and possibly
 `handle_404()` should be updated.
