 Seeing those logs, I'm at a loss as to what could possibly be have a core
 dev worried about when it comes to changing the delimiter to #. Per my
 further comment further up:

 @Nacin: which part of "the # delimiter is ALREADY used on the exact SAME
 data in another part of WP (aka parse_request())" do you not understand
 and could you possibly be worrying about?
