Comment (by sambauers):

 These changes break bbPress integration. It would be easier from our end
 if you forced people to have a SECRET_KEY, then we could just ask for a
 matching secret key in their bbPress config and the cookie hashes would
 match (after these functions are implemented in bbPress).

 So what do you think about making SECRET_KEY a mandatory config setting?
