Comment (by kevinB):
I know this patch was a little presumptuous on my part. Thought it was
worth a try and I'll take no offense to having it canned or postponed
indefinitely. Here are some observations to keep the conversation going.
There seems to be two sets of competing interest here:
* features vs. performance
* empowering plugins vs. guarding against them
I can see that get_posts is an efficient backdoor for diagnostic/utility
tasks. My problem is that it's both unhookable AND a super easy call for
themes, making it tough for an access control plugin to plug all the
conventional holes.
Please consider #4073 as an alternate patch.
