New description:

 1. This causes a filter regression, plugins can no longer disable pinging
 at their will without clearing the option. I personally suggest adding a
 hook, execute_pings, to which generic_ping is added in default-filters.php
 as it was before.

 2. This does no checks to see if the site has been pinged already, which
 could lead to blacklisting upon repeated saves to the post.

 3. Generic sites will not be pinged unless a trackback or pingback is
 waiting, potentially delaying the pings until the next post is published.

 There's something else I had that I'm forgetting, I'll update again later
 if I can remember.
