Comment:

 There are plenty of ways to lock down login and admin, ranging from moving
 them (yeah, it's possible), locking them down at the server level by IP or
 HTTP Auth, forcing SSL, etc.

 Security by obscurity is nothing more than a house of cards.

 New ideas belong in the ideas forum: http://wordpress.org/extend/ideas/.
