Comment (by DD32):

 > I'm pretty sure this patch won't break backward compatibility for people
 who directly include wp-blog-header.php elsewhere either. wp-blog-
 header.php calls wp-load.php in this patch.

 However, You need to keep in mind that most people do not do the correct
 thing and include wp-blog-header.php, Instead, Most people simply include
 wp-config.php as it does the job.

 Afterall, Half of the WordPress files used to simply do that too.
 (Regardless of if its the "right" way or not.)
