Comment:

 > You're kidding, right? Having "?>" is no proof of a fully uploaded file,
 that argument sounds not very serious to me.

 To a technical user yes. But to a non-PHPer, No. Quite often people will
 ask why wp-config.php doesnt have it, as they think it means its not fully
 there.

 Semantics are not always for the programming language.

 Whitespace immediately following a ?> is ignored by PHP and not rendered,
 However, Multiple new lines are not ignored (Single is fine, multiple is
 not).

 Wontfix pending dev-feedback
