 Replying to [comment:2 Another Guy]:
 > So having those hooks available so that significantly hardened security
 can be put in place without having to hack core code is a very good and
 positive thing.

 I don't think you understood the issue with this proposal. Without loading
 WordPress the actions and filters APIs don't exist. The only way to add a
 hook there would be to load WordPress first, which is the problem you're
 trying to solve in the first place. Its a circular issue.

 At the end of the day this is a issue the service should deal with. With
 regular htaccess files you can deny from all except for a given set of
 ips.
