 > I honestly don't understand the objection to this; all it involves is
 changing three instances of the hardcoded string `wp-admin` to use a
 constant instead.

 1. Adding this to core increases the cost of maintenance. We then have to
 account for this in everything we do in the future. It becomes a new setup
 for which we need to test. And we can't break it if there is a future need
 to do so.

 2. The things that are "hardcoded" are in fact filterable.
