 to remove filters from default-filters but that's easy.

 I would rather we revert and revisit the feature than do anything hacky to
 keep it alive.

 I think we should probably take a step back and just think about how we
 can make the text_widget not so lame in general - This may mean things
 like using a CPT to store the data and giving you full WYSIWYG and
 shortcode functionality that way.

 This was meant to be a quick win and it turns out it wasn't it's too late
 in the cycle to be hacking in fixes like this.
