Comment:

 > If Default permalinks option is enabled, .htaccess should be
 automatically (or user should be prompted to update it manually) to
 include a 404 handler to ensure wayward URLs still get sent to the WP
 error page. eg:

 If the .htaccess file or one in a higher parent directory already has one
 this would be a bad idea.
