Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 I don't think so. pings_open would be for incoming pings, rather than
 outgoing pings. That function is for outgoing pings.

 The other point you raise makes more sense, but as it currently stands,
 any change to a post, even the most meaningful one such as changing a
 typo, triggers pings all over the place.

 On my end, I'm constantly dealing with users who are pitched by the likes
