[wp-hackers] load_plugin_textdomain()

[Gaarai]

Just to throw my hat into the discussion, I completely agree with this 
sentiment. Making a breaking change happen later while implementing a 
confusing change to the API which will require double the work to use 
currently is baffling. Just cut the cord and force developers to update 
their stuff. Code that breaks due to lack of support will be picked up 
and fixed by the people who want to use it if there is enough interest 
remaining.
