 This long list of wp-*.php files is a bit big. Isn't it time that we have
 those run through index.php too? Why do all of these files have to be in
 the root directory? If there's a reason, why not put all the files that
 are in the wp-includes there too?

 So I say:

 1. Move files to wp-includes (if there's any conflict in naming, then of
 maybe have a subdir for these root files)

 2. WordPress internal linking should be set to include these files upon
 calling them (if permalinks turned on), otherwise all calls to them should
 be through index.php/wp-login/ etc and all page/post names with whese wp-*
 should be 'banned'

 3. Then we have 6 root files/folders in the installation: wp-admin,wp-
 content,wp-includes,index.php,license.txt,readme.html

 So there's gotta be a way to do this, and I'm giving the 'go' person the
 preliminary idea. I'm going to make a plugin that does just this, but I'm
 sure my code won't be very useful since it's probably not the way you'll
 end up doing it.
