[wp-hackers] Putting the P in WordPress

[Jake Goldman]

  Just to be clear, the specific issue of using "Wordpress" in a path or 
image name /has/ been addressed in a patch (I think by Mark Jaquith) for 
3.0.1.

That's an overt "bug" that can break things. The philosophical debate 
about the very inclusion of this filter is fascinating, but also strikes 
me as "water under the bridge", particularly on a "hackers" thread.

As to the question of "bloat", one could also argue that constantly 
checking a "fix Wordpress" option setting before applying a simple 
filter is also adding bloat.
