 This needs a couple more eyes on it because I'm trying something hinky :)

 1. Soften language for auto-fails and make sure people can be directed
 where to go.
 2. Add more blocked permalinks (attempting to handle Facebook's flat
 reject of a plugin with 'fb-' or 'ig-' without so many false negatives)
 3. Better explain what the new 'This plugin already exists, but just not
 here' error means (in this case it means 'you're using the slug already,
 we don't want to break your users!)
 4. THIS IS THE WEIRD CHANGE. Adding in a new array of 'special' emails and
 trademarks they're allowed to use. I was not able to test this fully! The
 idea is that 'If you're Yoast, you can use Yoast.' I do not envision there
 will be a lot of need for this, but it will calm down Automattic a touch
 :) I would love a second opinion on this part.

 Humor: "Stand in the place where you code now and think about directions
 wonder why you haven't before."
