Comment:
Patch is stale. Also if only wp-includes/formatting.php expression is
changed, then the resultant pipe symbol gets urlencoded. I'm not sure
whether that is the intended result or not. I'd say probably not, so
removing has-patch for now.
Can't think of any particular reason why a pipe shouldn't be allowed,
though. (It would only seem potentially harmful if prefixed by other
harmful stuff.)
