 though.

 `$ ack "apply_filters\([^\,]+, null" src/` suggests a few places:

 - `get_option()`
 - `get_site_by_path()`
 - `get_avatar()`
 - `get_metadata()`
 - `get_network_by_path()`

 The pattern is: if a `pre_` filter allows developers to avoid expensive
 queries, then it's justified. I think it's reasonable in this case.
