Comment:

 If warnings (or errors or notices) are displayed on a production site,
 then the server setup is wrong and possibly vulnerable. If you have some
 plugins the chance of getting some warnings is quite high, but end users
 seldom sees them, so these extra warnings doesn't change anything. It's
 not about "hitting" users with warnings, as the warnings will go to the
 error_log or displayed in the debug bar (plugin), where any developer
 should look.

 I develop plugins and child themes, and this new warning have already
 caught me doing things wrong (thanks, core team!). Don't forget that this
 particular warning is added because the reason for it may imply possible
 vulnerabilities in plugins or themes.

 I'm still and firmly for wontfix (always a warning), at least in all
 development versions.
