Comment (by matt):

 1. Yes I would like when you visited api.wordpress.org that it had a list
 of its methods and a dev reference for them. What to pass and what to
 expect back.
  2. Agreed.
  3. I'm on the fence about this. The purpose of a hidden-from-Google blog
 isn't to be invisible it's just to not be in search engines, and this
 doesn't impact that at all. By the same logic we should remove RSS feeds
 on the dashboard. I think a tin-foil hat mode should be left to a plugin.
  4. Judging from Akismet support, it's a fairly common problem for hosts
 to firewall or close off outgoing HTTP access from PHP. I think this would
 be handy on a diagnostics page somewhere in WP.

 Viper, the header notice will definitely change.
