Comment:

 Reading through this, I'm not sure why there was all this patching, none
 of which solved the original problem.

 To solve the actual original problem: Can we detect when the post_content
 changed and only generate a ping event when it has actually changed (and
 not some other field has been altered)?

 This keeps the real-time aspect (which is indeed critical, IMO), while
 solving the original problem of not forcing pings when the content remains
 unaltered.
