#4803: WordPress should be inserting its generator tag via the wp_head hook

This is a legacy behaviour carried on from the dark ages of WordPress:
{{{
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>"
/> <!-- leave this for stats -->
}}}
...which is included in every {{{header.php}}} of every WordPress theme in
every WordPress blog.
Don't you think a hook could be used instead?
{{{
function wp_vanity() {
?><meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version');
?>" /> <!-- leave this for stats --><?php
}
add_action('wp_head', 'wp_vanity');
add_action('admin_head', 'wp_vanity');
}}}
I realise it might be a bit impractical, seeing as though doing it, and
loading up an old theme would result in duplicate tags, but does everyone
agree it's more 'elegant'?
