[wp-hackers] "The Matrix Has You" easter egg

[Davit Barbakadze]

Right, sorry for vague statement. I was meaning posts created in 2010.
Several days ago he logged into the backend and discovered that it is
showing only 2009 posts. The interesting thing was that client-side of
the blog was still showing 2010 ones beautifully. For some time we
looked at it together. But then he tried to upgrade. And then they
disappeared even form the front-end. He was quite frightened, so I
recommended to degrade back, but despite of me telling him to backup
everything, and backup it twice, and then backup again, just overwrote
the whole thing...

So... easter eggs... or no, but illogical behavior on WordPress side
may easily bring non-techy users to a catastrophe.

That said, I don't know of any other relevant  easter eggs than the two I just mentioned. A quick google search did not turn up any more eggs that seem to be up-to-date.

Maybe if I care enough, at some point it could have a little interface so you can chose which ones to turn on or off - but for now, they will all get turned off. But if I don't get any feedback, 'All' will constitute just these two.
