Comment (by lilyfan):

 This enhancement breaks compatibility with plugins that includes wp-
 load.php/wp-config.php.
 Because the relative path to the plugin dir and wp-load.php is not uniqly
 defined.

 AJAX plugins often uses its own API such as http://blog.example.com/wp-
 content/plugins/ajax/api.php,
 and api.php includes wp-load.php/wp-config.php to use WordPress feature
 like:
 `require dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))) . '/wp-config.php';`

 If plugin directory changed, api.php cannot find wp-load.php/wp-
 config.php.
 Please provide a way to seek wp-load.php in that case.
