 From #10957:

 azaozz:
 > Better to fix the cause for this: "WordPress address" (siteurl)
 shouldn't be changeable from Settings->General at all as it cannot be set
 safely there. Most users would just break their blogs if they change it.

 > It is set at install and only needs changing when WordPress is moved to
 another domain or (sub)directory. This happens very rarely and there are
 other (better?) ways to set siteurl.


 Denis-de-Bernardy:
 > in this case, we need to make sure the www. pref is passed on to the
 site_url. else we're bound to get massive bugs (e.g. #9873)
