Comment:

 Per IRC discussion with rboren and sivel, we may axe wp-ajax.php.

 Some arguments made there:

 1. An uneducated plugin dev needs education, not a slightly more obvious,
 redundant API layer.

 2. Using wp-ajax.php is inherently less secure.

 3. It has the benefit of being able to require the auth cookies instead of
 just the logged_in cookie. The fact that it cannot make use of the proper
 auth cookies makes it worthy of death.
