 > WordPress uses {{{ABSPATH}}} for the core upgrade and assumes thats
 where files live. But as pointed out, Those who move their content
 direcotry, end up with files in their default location rather than their
 custom location. End of story. Therefor, The upgrade needs an extra step
 afterwards, to check if any custom directories are defined, and
 move/copy/overwrite them with the new files too.
 sounds complicated to me. why not let core upgrade use the correct
 location firsthand?
