 We have encountered automation failures with core-like WordPress.com sites
 where users have created this file. It was not clear whether they were
 backing up a file or doing something else. Attempting to load the file
 caused fatals when using WP-CLI with the `--skip-themes` option, and we
 almost always want to use `--skip-themes` to avoid errors due to user-
 provided software while performing system administration tasks.
