 Replying to [comment:2 Denis-de-Bernardy]:

 plugin relies on it and checks for !== false before doing its stuff, that
 plugin will break. so we might want to use add a different hook instead.

 If the plugin relies on !== false, it means that it will also conflict
 with another plugin that uses the hook.

 So it's not a very good plugin, not because of it's author, but because of
 the suboptimal way this filter has been applied. Hence the need for this
 patch.
