 WordPress core

 Thanks for confirming! Yep, that's what I thought too, this seems like
 something left over from long ago. What made me doubt it a bit is that the
 file name is `index.php` which generally means it is intended for loafing
 directly in the browser (default behaviour for all web servers afaik).

 > Interesting, this file is auto-generated with a script, so we could
 easily change it to use `BLOCKS_PATH` if that makes sense.

 Yea, thinking it can use `BLOCKS_PATH` especially after defining it is
 moved to default-constants.php. Thinking that's the best place for it.
 Then it would make more sense to use this constant everywhere imho.
